I didn’t want to track every single commit on Asana, just ones which either completed the task or which required review by another team member.

We weren’t using any auto deployment on upload.

Commit the code with the Asana task url in the description of the commit.This really worked well in both regards as anyone involved could see the progress of the project. When the client found a bug on the beta launch of the site they recorded it on Asana and they knew when it was fixed. Assigning tasks to contractors was easy and feedback on the commit as well. This really helped in both a contractor and client setting. The git-bot will publish who made the commit, which branch and the account and repo name it also links back to the GitHub commit. You can also add multiple tasks and the commit will be tracked in both tasks. This method isn’t application specific any way you want to commit to Github will work. So whenever anyone commits to the repo all he have to do is grab the URL of the task from Asana and put it in the description of the GitHub commit and it will appear in Asana under the user Git Commit. You can also restrict it to just one branch if you like. The GitHub Sync is repo based and not user based and is located under the webhooks and services. Once you have set up this user go into the account settings and grab the API Key. I took this one step further and gave my user the Octocat Icon. What Asana support suggested was that I make a new user and call it git commit or commit. But then all of the commits from everyone on the project will be attributed to you. You can set up the connection on your own Asana user account. While I had never set up this before both services make it quite easy. I was originally inspired by the svn-bot that appears in the WordPress core IRC chat. I wanted to but hadn’t tried to sync the commit message from GitHub to tasks in Asana.

With all this long distance I’ve been using both Asana and GitHub to keep the team organized. I was working on a new website with a new collaborator who was literally 5,000 mile away for a client was 300 miles away.

This blog post complements the WordCamp Vancouver 2014 Talk I gave called How to build your own robot. As Nacin walks us through a two year journey to fix a vulnerability and it was a fascinating story.Ī lot of patches in WordPress aren’t this hard… but they are similar rabbit holes of problem solving to make something better. Ryan D Sullivan tweet exemplifies this completely. I had a hard time following the code in Nacin’s talk it was well over my head.

I wasn’t able to attend Loop Conf in person but they had an amazing live stream which was completely free (major props organizers) and Nacin walks us through the Anatomy of a Critical Software Bug. No one really knew how important enabling emoji support were going to be to fixing the security with in WordPress until Andrew Nacin spoke at the recent Loop Conf. Little did I know… Little did we all know…Įxcept for a couple people on the WordPress security team. I had even played around with the development plugin Gary Pendergast was creating to solve this problem it was affectionately called x1f4a9 or 💩, I though this is cool, can I make this work on my local installation running trunk and oh my that Gary Pendergast is one funny dude. What a lot of people didn’t realize even at that time was that the 4-byte unicode characters in WordPress that makes those fun emoji’s happened also allows for Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters is important to making WordPress more global. (These comments were three months old at the time of this posting May 10, 2015) This seemed to many as frivolous, unimportant and most useless feature ever. I wanted to post quickly about what Brian Krogsgard coined The Trojan Emoji. Take Care Alex I cant help but feel you were handed a raw deal. The effect Alex had on the WordPress Community was to say the least HUGE. I helped him test beta versions of his enormously popular plugin Regenerate Thumbnails. I never did get down to Portland to take him up on that ride in his beloved Viper he offered. How he introduced me to Glove and Boots a puppet cartoon I watch on YouTube and laugh at while I eat my lunch. We had a good chuckle about the Dacia Sandero Bet I made with my brother that completely backfired on me. When I headed off to Europe we chatted about visiting the famed Nurburgring ring. We became friends across the internet and saw each other at WordCamp Seattle a number of times. I first met Alex at the Vancouver WordCamp Dev conference (circa 2012) and we chatted about his username, his impressive number of open source plugins that he manages and how unlike the other bond he drinks beer and not martinis (shaken not stirred)

Little did I know who this guy actually was. I first saw Alex’s user name and I though Viper007Bond, that’s not how that works.
