“As a new Engineer, GitHub facilitated a fast onboarding process and enabled efficient communication between teams within the technology organization."
"We provide students with a cloud service, but they're responsible for deploying their projects."
“By standardizing on GitHub our developers can work the way they want to while still making it easy to share and discover each other’s code.”
"We now see other teams contributing to these pipelines and workflows."
“We were always a believer in open source, and Cesium was our first open source project as a company. We wanted to be where everyone else was because open source lives or dies by its community."
“By tying directly to our repositories, GitHub Packages gives Cesium an automated, secure path to continuous integration and deployment, testing, and delivering products to our customers and millions of open source users.”
“We’re working on building and helping. We want to make sure that we’re innovating in the right ways with what we’re doing in our specialty here at Cesium."
“To accelerate feature development, you need to focus on centralization capabilities."
“We didn’t have a way to keep track of who owns an app, what technologies were in use, what resources we had available at any given time.”
“You can’t do that with a file system or database. And you don’t get a history of changes. When you treat GitHub as a universal tool, it creates a lot of opportunities and introduces interesting new workflows to the process.”
"Code changes were relegated to a handful of people in an ivory tower. It’s made what we do much more seamless, transparent, and collaborative.”
“Whether it’s being initiated, planned, executed, or terminated, the ticket contains all relevant information, including its owner.” They use a template to maintain consistency and stickers to generate a weekly report with the GitHub API. “There’s less manual work, and leads can send stickers out to the wider teams."
"With the help of Git, we’re seeing faster code pushes and pulls. We also take advantage of GitHub’s collaboration tools, for both code and the processes (such as issue tracking) and documentation needed around the code."
"Before starting this project, each developer did his or her own work. But now, we collaborate with each other very often, and don’t hesitate to ask or share. This motivates me a lot."
"There’s never been a moment where we considered moving off GitHub. That’s radical for a piece of software we’ve used for over nine years."
