GitHub history and the profile page

Let’s talk about the GitHub profile page. Does it matter? Decide now, so that you can plan ahead and make the most of the next 5 months.

And a little backstory on these version-control social media things.

This is a rough cut – and really the part we were meaning to talk about was just the chapter called “GITHUB PROFILES” at ~13:00.

28:15 unintentional visuals during intro / put a shot of the reddit thread in there instead.

Things to add:

A look at the new GitHub and NPM branding and brand-voice
Some notes about the very not cool things that NPM has done
We can make a second specific video below about options to add some personalization to your profile
Explain why we want the students to use Github during the DFTW course / but how after that – it’s up to them.
