Repo Reviews

For Educators

Educators use Repo Reviews as an exercise for students to learn about GitHub and contribute to the open-source community.

GitHub Fork

Code collaboration and review are built into the development process with GitHub. Students start by creating a GitHub account and forking the repo-reviews repo.

Edit YAML & Markdown

Students edit the YAML front matter of a review template and create a thoughtful review of a repo of their choice using Markdown.

GitHub Pull Requests

Students issue a GitHub pull-request (PR) to merge their review into repo-reviews.

GitHub Actions & CI

Students watch as a GitHub action validates their PR and Continuous Integration incorporates their review into the website.

GitHub Issues

Students are tagged in an auto-created issue and prompted to share their review with the repo.

Contribute to the community

Students experience the joy of contributing to an open-source repo and sharing their experience with the community to increase productivity.

Support the community with a helpful ❤️ repo review ❤️
