GitHub and Travis Training Project

This project is a small, simple vehicle to explore Git with GitHub and Travis for the Engineering Academy induction.

How to use this project

Instructions are in the booklet. In short:

  • Create your own GitHub account with SSH keypair
  • Fork this project
  • Clone your own repository
  • Create a new Eclipse Java project that uses the source code contained in the clone
  • Edit, commit, push to demonstrate GitHub.
  • Enable and configure Travis
  • Edit, commit, push to demonstrate Travis and testing.

How this project was created

  1. Create a new repository
  2. Clone it
  • SSH keys make it easier to push subsequently
  1. Create an Eclipse project in that location
  2. Add an appropriate .gitignore file
  1. Edit, commit, push.

I also enabled and tested Travis in another repository to make sure the tests worked. That configuration and effect is not reflected here, but is demonstrated in the booklet.
