My Contributions to Tracker - GSoC 2016

The tracker project is one of most interesting projects that I have come across as a computer science undergraduate. Therefore to get myself familiar with Tracker and SCoRe, I studied about projects such as Tracker, OpenDF, and OpenADS. I started getting myself involved with SCoRe by analyzing the code base and eventually fixing reported issues in Github.

This post describes the tasks I have done so far in the context of tracker.

In this post, we will not dig the differences of git and github. We will instead guide you along the basic commands you need when working with git.
