GitHub

Updated May 26, 2025

GitHub is a website and tool where people can store and share computer code. It helps individuals and teams work together on software projects. You can think of it like Google Docs, but for code — it keeps track of every change, who made it, and lets people suggest improvements or report issues. It’s especially useful when many people are working on the same project.

Access

You have or will have a personal account on GitHub. You can use this tool to create a dashboard for yourself and create columns in the dashboard to help organize your day/tasks. Note that your profile is visible to others and perhaps design your GitHub so that they can easily add notes and issues.

Procedure for assigning a GitHub Task

  1. Create a new issue on GitHub. You can use the "Project Brief" issue template we created to ensure all needs are addressed;
  2. Select the concerned Assignee, an email will be sent automatically to them via GitHub;
  3. Select the concerned Project in the repository, if known. This will generate a notification on the person's dashboard and they’ll be able to triage the issue.

Here are the details you can add to a task (within the GitHub Template):

  • Project Name
  • Schedule / Milestones
  • Background, details, and scope
  • Purpose in respect of MobilityData’s strategy
  • Relevant Stakeholders
  • Available tools, resources & information
  • Task/expectations
