Charlotte Web Development firm The Idea People Collaborate with Github

As a leading Charlotte web developer, The Idea People actively embrace and participate in online programming code and language communities.  “We implement git and github for version control of our source code.  It allows us to work in a distributed environment while collaborating with our team members and clients,” said Doug Grubba, technology director with The Idea People.

“Github is the proven web technology collaboration hub for each of the special open sources projects that we use here at The Idea People, including Laravel, jQuery, Sugar, Pusher, Stripe, curl, node.js, Redis,” added Grubba.  “Github gives us total control on the levels that we assign team members and how they can collaborate with our source code, for example, we can assign read-only, read-write, and admin-level access.”

Why Web Developers Use github

As The Idea People write and develop website applications and functionality, github allows us to update and collaborate on specific modules and scenarios via version controls and previous iterations easily, while protecting our ultimate “master” or key development files.

• Team management.  We can easily give our developers as much or as little power as they need, from the ability to create projects on behalf of our company to read-only access on existing projects.
• Gollum-powered Wikis.  Since every wiki is a git repository, wikis are importable and exportable by default. This keeps all of our content, images, and history intact.
• Version issue tracking.  Each github repository that we create for a client project comes fully-loaded with a next generation issue tracker that helps us stay on top of bugs and focus on features.
• Awesome code review opportunities.  Github allows our web developers to implement Pull Requests, which are living discussions that streamline the process of discussing, reviewing, and managing changes to code.

The Idea People write and develop custom web applications for a variety of uses, including e-commerce shopping carts, professional network communities, WordPress CMS backends, online and offline data reporting, online chat and private message modules, and just about any type of web-based or mobile-based technology need.
