Welcome to the team!!! (assuming you’re reading this because you just started working at Mira)

You can create this by clicking the green “sign up” button on the top right. You can use your personal e-mail for your account but be sure to at your Mira Geoscience e-mail in there as well. It would also be cool to set up a Gravatar so we can more easily see who did what in the history.

Once you create your account, give the name to one of the developers on your team so they can add you to the right Github teams so you can see the code!

If you go into your account settings and click the ssh tab you’ll get a nice page all about your Github ssh keys. There’s instructions there on how to add the key so I’ll let you figure that out on your own.

SourceTree is a FREE application made by Atlassian that gives you a gui for Git and Mercurial. It’s really useful for viewing the history of a given repo and makes merging a lot easier as well.

If you’re unfamiliar with Git it’s suggested you learn the old fashioned way in the shell. The learning curve is a bit steep but learning this way will help you get a better grasp of the concepts and general development practices we use.

Another FREE application, sublime text is a really powerful text editor. It has a slew of plugins for you and can be customized in just about every way.
