GitHub and Travis Training Project

This project is a small, simple vehicle to explore Git with GitHub and Travis for the Engineering Academy induction.

How to use this project

Instructions are in the booklet. In short:

• Create your own GitHub account with SSH keypair
• Fork this project
• Clone your own repository
• Create a new Eclipse Java project that uses the source code contained in the clone
• Edit, commit, push to demonstrate GitHub.
• Enable and configure Travis
• Edit, commit, push to demonstrate Travis and testing.

How this project was created

1. Create a new repository
2. Clone it

• SSH keys make it easier to push subsequently

3. Create an Eclipse project in that location
4. Add an appropriate .gitignore file

• I used this Eclipse template from https://www.gitignore.io

5. Edit, commit, push.

I also enabled and tested Travis in another repository to make sure the tests worked. That configuration and effect is not reflected here, but is demonstrated in the booklet.
