1. Setting up your repository

Current NHS trusts have forked the made-tech/nhs-virtual-visit repository so that they can develop their own features whilst receiving updates from Made Tech.

Forking the repository

  1. Navigate to the NHS Book a virtual visit repository
  2. In the top-right corner of the page, click Fork

fork button

Keeping in sync with the upstream repository

As time goes on, your trust fork will become out of date with the upstream as we deliver security patches, and possibly new features. You can either install a utility to keep your fork up to date automatically, or manually sync the fork yourself.

Automatically updating your fork

You can set up the repository to work instantly with the Pull app by Wei. To install the app, visit github.com/apps/pull and click install, pointing the app to your newly created fork. Doing this requires careful consideraton. Whilst always being up to date it excellent, doing so will require any code to go through your own continuous delivery pipeline in order to validate it meets your standards.

Manually updating your fork

You can also manually sync your fork with the upstream repo via the following instructions: Github: Syncing a fork.

Caveats

If you make changes to your forked repo, the Pull utility (or manual sync) will attempt to merge our changes into yours. Any conflicting changes will need to be resolved (see Github: Addressing merge conflicts).
