Hey y'all!

I'm Mickey Gousset, a Staff DevOps Architect at GitHub, on the GitHub FastTrack team. At GitHub, I help customers get more "dev-opsy" using GitHub. I am very passionate about DevOps and helping developers achieve their goals.

I speak on DevOps and Cloud topics at various user groups, code camps, and conferences around the world. And this channel gives me one more avenue to help people get more "dev-opsy".

So, have a topic suggestion, or a comment? Leave it here or drop me a message via email or twitter.

All thoughts and opinions on this channel are completely my own.

Hey y'all!

Good news and bad news.

Bad news first. The video isn't ready yet.

Good news is, everything is recorded, I'm just in the editing stage. And because this isn't one of my "unscripted" videos, the editing is taking a little longer than I expected. While I like using Premier Pro for editing my videos, sometimes its like bringing a tank to a bar fight. BUT, if everything aligns I should be able to finish it tomorrow night and get it loaded.

I definitely find my "unscripted" videos, where I do everything in one take whether it works or not, easier go edit. :)

Thanks for reading!

Hey y'all!

Just got done recording two demos for the new video. Tomorrow I'll record the intro and talking head portions of the video, and if everything goes as planned, should be posting it in the next couple of days.

Thanks for reading!

Hey y'all!

Realistically it will be next week until I have a new video out. I'm working on one right now around required review by specific teams using rulesets, which we just put out in public preview, and how to use it in tandam with the CODEOWNERS file. This is going to fix a painpoint that I see with a lot of customers.

Also working on getting ready for Christmas. Christmas decorations, inside and out are up. I managed to get it done before the weather turned SUPER cold and rainy.

And right now my goto for wasting a few minutes of time is an older computer game called FTL: Faster Than Light. I like it because I can play for just a few minutes and save and come back to it later. Right now I'm stuck trying to win using the Mantis race, but haven't been successful yet. If you have any tips let me know.

Thanks for reading!

Hey y'all!

I haven't disappeared, things have just been incredibly busy, both professional and personal. I have new videos that I'm working on, but nothing is ready to go yet. But I'll get there.

In the meantime, as usual, let me know what content you are looking for and I'll add it to the backlog.

Thanks for reading!

One of the most requested videos lately has been "how do we migrate from BitBucket Datacenter to GitHub". Good news! I'm working on that video right now. I've stood up a test BitBucker Datacenter running locally on Docker, and I'm working my way through the migration process now.

If everything goes well, I should have the video up by Friday.

I do apologize for the lack of content the past couple of months. I was busy helping get GitHub Universe ready. Now that it is successful and done, I can get back to creating content for y'all.

Let me know what content I should create next.

I'm working on the GitHub Advanced Security Code Scanning Deep Dive video. It is taking a little longer than expected, trying to get the demo to do just what i want it to. But it should be out this week.

Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks. I'm working on a GitHub Advanced Security video series. It should be helpful for anyone who wants to understand GHAS better, or is planning to take the GHAS certification exam.
