Use to link your SLAC accounts to GitHub

What do we use GitHub for?

While production versions of operations software live in ~/opsTools, they also remotely live on GitHub, in the SLAC GitHub organization called SLAC Lab. Access to it isn't granted automatically, but it's pretty easy to get!

Step-by-step guide

1. If you don't have a GitHub account, make one
2. Send your username to Brian Van Klaveren (email bvan@slac.stanford.edu or ping brianv on Slack) asking for access
   1. Note: This step has very high potential to end up out of date if someone else ends up managing SLAC Lab, so keep that in mind.
      
3. Navigate over to the ops team on SLAC Lab and request to join
4. Back on an OPI (or SSHed in), Run "set_profile [YOUR USERNAME]" then ssh into mcclogin
