Development/Sign up for these

This is a list of services you should sign up for if you want to do development/coding work on Growstuff.

Required

 * Github -- used as a code repository, for version control and code collaboration.
 * Pivotal Tracker -- our task tracker. After creating an account, send an email to [mailto:skud@growstuff.org skud@growstuff.org] asking to be added to the Growstuff project.

Recommended

 * Mailing list -- our "discuss" mailing list is where most of our developer discussion happens.
 * Pear -- sign up to register your interest in Pairing on Growstuff.
 * This wiki -- sign up for an account so you can edit any of this documentation. Requests are processed manually, approximately daily; email [mailto:skud@growstuff.org skud@growstuff.org] if your request seems to be languishing.

Optional

 * Travis-CI -- used for automated testing and continuous integration; if you sign up for Travis, it can track whatever code you push to Github and let you know if you've broken any of the tests.
 * Heroku -- if you want to deploy Growstuff code. We use Heroku for our live site, so it's easy to deploy your own Growstuff branches there too, if you want to show people what you're working on.
