Integration of GitHub Tools and Resources

[Wid1ey]

Overview

This issue aims to discuss and track the integration and usage of three key GitHub tools and resources within our projects: GitHub CLI, Git Large File Storage (LFS), and Primer.

Tools and Resources

1. GitHub CLI

• Description: A command line tool for GitHub that allows you to manage GitHub repositories and other GitHub operations from your terminal.
• Features:
  • Manage pull requests and issues.
  • Clone repositories.
  • Create gists.
  • Interact with the GitHub API.
• Usage:
  • Simplify workflows with terminal commands.
  • Automate repetitive tasks.
• Documentation: GitHub CLI Documentation

2. Git Large File Storage (LFS)

• Description: A Git extension for versioning large files, enabling you to manage large assets like audio, video, datasets, and graphics.
• Features:
  • Replaces large files in your repository with text pointers inside Git, while storing the large file content on a remote server.
  • Efficiently handles large files.
• Usage:
  • Track files with git lfs track <file>.
  • Push and pull large files as needed.
• Documentation: Git Large File Storage Documentation

3. Primer

• Description: The GitHub design system that includes principles, components, and patterns for creating consistent and cohesive designs.
• Features:
  • Ready-to-use components for web design.
  • Design tokens and principles for consistency.
• Usage:
  • Integrate Primer components in your web projects to ensure consistent design.
• Documentation: Primer Documentation

Integration Goals

1. GitHub CLI: Integrate into our development workflow to streamline repository management and automate tasks.
2. Git Large File Storage: Use for versioning and managing large files in our repositories to improve efficiency and reduce repository bloat.
3. Primer: Adopt for our web design projects to maintain a consistent and professional design standard.

Action Items

• Evaluate the current workflow and identify areas where GitHub CLI can be integrated.
• Set up Git LFS for handling large files in relevant repositories.
• Implement Primer design components in our web projects and document the process.

Discussion Points

• Any potential challenges or concerns with integrating these tools?
• Best practices for adopting these tools in our workflows.
• Additional training or resources needed for the team.
