Pre-Workshop Set-Up

The pre-workshop setup should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete.

If you are attending a CloudBees led workshop then these setup steps should be completed before the start of the workshop event.

GitHub Setup

Create a GitHub.com Account

Feel free to use an existing GitHub.com account or create a new one:

  1. In a new browser tab or window, visit https://github.com/join and fill in the required fields to create a GitHub.com user account.
  2. Select “Unlimited public repositories for free” when choosing your plan.
  3. Verify your email account to ensure you account is activated. An activated account will be required for the rest of this workshop.

Create a GitHub Organization

We highly recommend creating a new GitHub Organization for the CloudBees Feature Management Workshop. We will be using a GitHub App based credential to enable authentication and authorization between your GitHub.com Organization for the workshop and CloudBees CI for building and deploying the microblog-frontend application.

  1. Ensure that you are logged into GitHub.com and then navigate to this link to create a new (and free) GitHub Organization.
  2. Enter a unique Organization account name, a valid Contact email, select My personal account for This organization belongs to and then click on the Next button. GitHub Org Set up
  3. On the Welcome to GitHub screen just click the Complete setup button. GitHub Org Set up
  4. On the final page you don’t have to fill anything in/answer any questions (unless your really want to) and just scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Submit button.

NOTE: Even though you have to provide an email for billing, you will NOT be charged anything as long as you choose the free option.
