The second pull request for Release0.2

 Now, it is the second week for my Release0.2 assignment of OSD600 course. I plan to practice a new pull request using git and GitHub. 

First of all, I try to search for a suitable issue from open source projects. In this time, I search for the issues with the limitations of "good first issue" and "JavaScript" through advanced search in GitHub. Then I find an issue about combining the data to a separated file from a repo. Now all of the needed data is in the main index.js file. But the main file will be clunky when the data is too much. So I decide to store all of the test data to a separated js file.

I create a new branch named issue-24 for the flowing changes. After storing the data to a single file, I exports these variables. Then, the main index.js file can use them. When I complete all of the changes, I try to test if it works well.

Test


At last, I commit the changes and push them to my forked repo. Then I pull a request to the author to check.

Choose a project in Release 0.4

 Release 0.4 is my fourth assignment for OSD600 course. There are three steps to complete it. The first step is to choose a project which you will work with. The second step is to update the process about the work. The last step is to show my result for the project. Because it is close to my test week. I don't have enough time to search for a new suitable project. So, I decide to work with the former project in this course. Actually I plan to work with my link checker project . I had designed some features which can be used to test if a link work well. But I think there are still something which I can promote. This is true for every IT project, and you can continually improve the project to make it better and better. In the first assignment for this course, my professor list many optional features which can be designed into the link check project. I will choose one of them which I don't complete to further refine my project.

The course is my opportunity to know more things about it.  Open source development can provide us the opportunities to work with the developers around the world.  Open source technology and open source thinking also can benefit everyone, not only programmers. I want to study the open source tools and accumulate the development experience of real software project. I'm gonna search for commercial service development projects to understand the requirements of a business project. The GitHub trending repo I research is  Rocket.Chat .

Publish project in Lab 9

This week we start to practice how to release your project into public. In this way, the users don't need to clone  and build your project to run it locally. They can install it globally and use it easily. In this lab, I utilize my link checker project to practice to release it. Because my project was written by Node.js, so I choose npm platform to create my release.  First of all, I read the npm documents and check my project files step by step. I make sure the package.json file includes everything required such as name, version, dependencies, scripts, author and so on. After modifying all the things, I push these changes into my GitHub. Second, I create an account in npm website . It  is a necessary step if you want to publish your project into npm platform. Then,  I us e the command "npm login" to login the npm platform. After that, I use the command "npm push" to release my project. In the first release operation, there is a 403 error which shows " Yo
