The GitHub CLI is an indispensable tool as a project maintainer or contributor on GitHub. It can boost your productivity when getting things done.
The day my brain exploded was when I discovered (spoilers) that you could create a pull request using the GitHub CLI.
Let's get started!
As a maintainer of a repository, it’s in your best interest to automate processes as much as possible. The CODEOWNERS file is one of those tools to help with automating processes.
I collect open source projects like some people collect discord servers. To be accurate, I have 525 repositories. Now, before you yell at me, many of those are from my bootcamp lessons when I was learning to code. But I’ve been known to start and stop projects more than once. What I have learned through that experience is the importance of consistency. If you’re in an organization that has multiple repositories, you might find yourself adding the same files over and over–files like the CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, Pull Request (PR) and Issue templates, and CONTRIBUTING.md. As developers, adding these files repeatedly starts to feel like we’re violating DRY code principles. Fortunately, the .github repository can help solve this problem.
