Selenium series: populating the Git repo
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Matthew Casperson's blog post from October 2018 outlines the process of setting up a GitHub account and creating a Git repository as part of a series on developing a Selenium WebDriver test framework. It guides users through signing up for a GitHub account, creating a public repository to enable free use of GitHub and Travis CI, and linking this remote repository with a local Git repository using IntelliJ. The post emphasizes the importance of using version control systems like Git for tracking and auditing code changes, as well as the benefits of using hosted Git repositories such as GitHub for code backup, collaboration, and integration with other tools. Additionally, it covers the creation of a .gitignore file to manage which files should be excluded from the repository, and it concludes by describing the process of committing and pushing changes to the GitHub repository, highlighting the advantages of using source control for software development.
