Code changes are visible, and team members can make comments on any commit, with additional tools to support finding common security bugs or dependency issues. It’s a familiar way of working, proven across thousands of open source projects. Working from home, you can replicate code repositories to get access to colleagues’ work, make changes, test code, and run local builds, before sharing your code back to a main branch via a pull request. GitHub (and other git tools) provide a platform for social coding, making changes more visible, and integrating test into code submissions. ![]() With GitHub’s planned acquisition of NPM, you’ll soon be able to build a single JavaScript development pipeline. Making GitHub part of your software development lifecycle is a lot easier with the release of GitHub Actions, giving you integration points with the rest of your CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) pipeline and delivering final code into artefact repositories. One option is to move to a platform such as GitHub for your code. Secure social coding with GitHub Enterprise Although we have the option of conferencing tools such as Teams or Zoom for daily video standups, we still need to find ways of replicating the regular one-on-one interactions of code reviews, pair programming, or collaborative debugging. Social distancing policies mean that many of the techniques required for modern agile development are hard to implement. We’re social animals, and much development work needs more than one pair of eyes. A remote development workstation doesn’t need to be completely isolated from key resources, though it may need additional security policies to ensure separation between personal information and work resources.Ĭonnectivity is important, but it’s likely to be the least of your problems. VPNs and other remote access technologies can link our home networks to on-premises source code repositories and other key devops tools, offering secure connections. ![]() ![]() The question then is, how can we use the tools we already have to still be able to build and ship code? If you’re not working from home already, you most likely will be very soon.
