Overview
GitHub account and web interface (or gh CLI) environment required for forking the repository, opening pull requests, and performing maintainer review and merge operations.
Description
This environment encompasses the GitHub platform access required for the manual contribution workflow. Contributors need a GitHub account to fork the upstream repository, push changes to their fork, and open pull requests. The maintainer (ThreeSR) needs repository write access to review and merge incoming contributions.
Two tools are involved:
- GitHub Web UI -- used for forking, creating pull requests, reviewing, and merging.
- GitHub CLI (
gh) -- an optional command-line alternative for the same operations, documented in the implementation pages.
Usage
Use this environment for the Manual Paper Contribution workflow, which involves:
- Forking the repository (GitHub_Fork_And_Clone implementation)
- Opening pull requests (GitHub_Pull_Request implementation)
- Reviewing and merging contributions (GitHub_PR_Review_And_Merge implementation)
System Requirements
| Category | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account | GitHub account | Free account is sufficient for forking and PRs |
| Browser | Any modern browser | For GitHub Web UI operations |
| Software (optional) | gh CLI |
For command-line GitHub operations |
Dependencies
Web-Based
- GitHub account (https://github.com/signup)
- Web browser with JavaScript enabled
CLI-Based (Optional)
ghCLI (https://cli.github.com/)- Authentication via
gh auth login
Credentials
- GitHub account: A registered GitHub account with the ability to create forks and open pull requests on public repositories.
- GitHub authentication (for
ghCLI): Rungh auth loginto authenticate. This stores an OAuth token locally. - Maintainer access: Write/admin access to
ThreeSR/Awesome-Inference-Time-Scalingis required for merge operations (maintainer only).
Quick Install
# Install GitHub CLI (optional)
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install gh
# macOS (via Homebrew)
brew install gh
# Authenticate
gh auth login
Code Evidence
Contribution instructions from README.md:L18-24:
First, you can fork my repo. Then, add the paper you think relevant.
After that, open a pull request or issue, I will handle it.
Through my verification, I will accept and merge.
The gh CLI is referenced in several implementation pages as an alternative to the web UI for forking and PR creation:
# Fork and clone in one step
gh repo fork ThreeSR/Awesome-Inference-Time-Scaling --clone
# Create a pull request
gh pr create --repo ThreeSR/Awesome-Inference-Time-Scaling --title "Add paper" --body "Description"
Common Errors
| Error Message | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
gh: command not found |
GitHub CLI not installed | Install via apt-get install gh or brew install gh, or use the web UI instead
|
HTTP 401: Bad credentials |
Not authenticated or token expired | Run gh auth login to re-authenticate
|
403: Resource not accessible by integration |
Insufficient permissions for merge | Only the maintainer has merge access; contributors submit PRs |
Compatibility Notes
- Web UI vs CLI: All GitHub operations can be performed through either the web interface or the
ghCLI. The CLI is optional but convenient for automation. - Fork permissions: Any GitHub account can fork a public repository. No special permissions are needed for forking or opening PRs.
