Working the way a team works

Pull requests, reviews and what GitHub evidence records.

9 min read

This milestone requires three merged pull requests authored by your connected GitHub account.

Merged rather than opened. A merged pull request has passed whatever review the repository applies. Pull requests that are opened and then closed produce no evidence towards this milestone.

Commits are not counted. The platform records pull requests and reviews and disregards pushes. A commit count can be inflated without effort and indicates nothing about the work.

Descriptions. State what changed, why, and anything you were uncertain about. The last of these is what makes a review useful rather than procedural.

Size. Several small pull requests are stronger evidence than one large one, and are easier to describe accurately.

Connection. Link a repository in the dashboard first; nothing is recorded until you do. Work credited to any other GitHub account does not count towards your certificate.

Lessons are not assessed. Progress towards the certificate is recorded from the work you submit. See all requirements
