GitHub is the largest web service for hosting IT projects and their joint development. This web service is based on the Git version-control system - a distributed version-control system for tracking changes in source code during software development.
Open up a random ObjectScript project (I think you need to be logged in first for this to work).
Then press "." (press full stop).
This will open the git repo inside an online instance of VS code.
Perhaps not that exciting for some, but I was impressed. Mainly because it's a good demo of editing ObjectScript in the cloud. As much as I like VS code locally, I still can't use it on many sites, and maybe not popular, but I still think IRIS + its own web IDE would be a killer combination.
Hey everyone.
As I have been working with IRIS (nee Caché) for some time now, I decided to take a look at how I manage things like functions and scripts that may not belong to a single namespace or environment, but should still have a home.
I have taken to creating a github repo where I can keep track of a single .cls of "general functions" that I can then drop into an environment when required.
What does everyone think about submitting an issue in a repository and then submitting a pull request to fix that issue. Is it an unnecessary step or does it give extra context and logging for the issue? I ask this because when I find a bug in an Open Exchange app, I always submit the Issue and then often submit a Pull Request to fix the issue.
I think that if the repository owner doesn't like your suggested fix, it is helpful to have the issue around so that they can deny the pull request and potentially implement their own change for the issue.
