Chef

Chef was an experimental case-based planning project developed by Kris Hammond. It used the domain of cooking as a way to explore the use of case-based reasoning in planning. How does ChatGPT do in this domain? Will it make the recipe with poisonous mushrooms???

Experiments with Deep Text

I've been trying out deep text techniques for a while now, and I'll be tracking these on a blog on entish.org in the deeptext category.

November Generate A Novel Month

Check out my 2022 November Generate A Novel Month project: Translating older English into modern English with OpenAPI.

Joyfully

I've been working on a project called Joyfully. It's a template for creating a Python code repository using Poetry, Pytest, and Black. It's a work in progress, but I'm using it for my own new projects.

Your first contribution

Introduction to GitHub Flow

Now that you're familiar with issues, let's use this issue to track your journey to your very first contribution.

There are many different methodologies used by people everywhere to contribute to a software project. By far the simplest and most effective way of contributing on Github comes from ✨ GitHub Flow ✨, which is what you'll use.

Getting Started with GitHub

👋 Welcome to Introduction to GitHub

We're glad you're here. You'll perform some actions to help you become familiar with GitHub... using GitHub!

👇 This is an expandable dialogue! Click to open as you find these throughout the course.

What is GitHub?

What is GitHub?

We are glad you asked! Many people stumble onto GitHub through one of the millions of Open Source projects it holds or because their employer or professor is using it. Why do these projects use GitHub?

At its heart, GitHub is a collaboration platform.

People around the world use GitHub to collaborate on projects ranging from software to policy documents and cookbooks. You can share your projects with the world and invite your friends to help, or you can keep your projects private and still have easy access wherever you are.

GitHub is also a powerful version control tool.

While you are collaborating, GitHub uses Git (open source, distributed version control software) to keep track of every change made to your project.

GitHub is so much more.

GitHub is used to build some of the most powerful applications in the world. It can do a lot of really cool things, but this class is going to focus on getting you started with the basics. We will dig in to the rest later!

This is an issue, a place where you can hold conversations with other collaborators about bugs in your code, feature requests, or any other topic you wish.

Issue titles are a lot like email subject lines: they tell your collaborators what the issue is about at a glance. The title of this issue is Turn on GitHub Pages, more on that later!

Using GitHub Issues

Using GitHub Issues

GitHub Issues are used to record and discuss ideas, enhancements, tasks, and bugs. They make collaboration easier by:

• Replacing email for project discussions, ensuring everyone (even future team members) has the complete story.
• Allowing you to cross-link to other Issues and Pull requests.
• Creating a single, comprehensive record of how and why you made certain decisions.
• Allowing you to easily pull the right people into a conversation with @ mentions and team mentions.

• Not watching: Stop receiving notifications, but @ mentions will still alert you.
• Ignore: Stop all notifications.
