What is a GitHub Project? - BrandonGoff/communicate-using-markdown GitHub Wiki
GitHub Repository features:
If you look at the top of this webpage you might see a bunch of tabs that say things like <>Code, Issues, and Wiki and hopefully you are a bit familiar with those. There are others that we do not have time do talk about in this course, but one other very useful tool we will be using is in Projects.
GitHub Projects:
GitHub Projects is a project management tool in your repository that helps show the progress of your work. Everyone with access to the project can see what is being worked on, what is planned for the future, and what is finished. You can also comment, link, and edit the items in the project to help keep everyone involved on the same page. Since this is a part of GitHub that means we can also use markdown to communicate in our project, and that's what we will be doing today!
Tracking progress with a project in your repo:
Once you gain access to a project you will see different areas on a "Board" with items in each area. To complete this course each participant will be assigned an item in the "Getting Started" area of the Markdown workshop project. Once you are finished reading the information in this wiki and have completed the setup steps shown in the overview you may move your item to the "In progress" area and begin following the steps listed in the rest of the overview diagram.
As you complete each step of this course you should be entering your work as a comment in your item. Make sure to follow the overview diagram, this will walk you through the same steps but allow us to work through the course together as a group.
