Why you should use DocuSign over SkySlope's DigiSign for digitally signing documents

Why you should use DocuSign over SkySlope's DigiSign for digitally signing documents

After signing digital documents over the last 2 years using both, I have to say I really hate DigiSign and really love DocuSign, for the following reasons:

Comparison:

  1. PDFs: I can't (meaning: I refuse to) sign a document without at least skimming it and understanding it. I need to mark it up as I go. I use Foxit Reader in Linux Ubuntu (it is a cross-platform program thankfully, and runs in Windows, Mac, and Linux) to digitally highlight, underline, and take notes inside PDFs. This means I need a PDF of the exact document I'm about to sign, in the exact same page order, before signing. Here's the differences between DocuSign and DigiSign:
    1. DocuSign: I click the "Download PDF" button at the top of the page, download and take notes on the PDF, then go back online and sign. I don't have to bother anyone at all to ask for a PDF copy.
  2. SkySlope's DigiSign: no option whatsoever to download a PDF unt

How to move to a fork after cloning

If you are like me you find yourself cloning a repo, making some proposed changes and then deciding to later contributing back using the GitHub Flow convention. Below is a set of instructions I've developed for myself on how to deal with this scenario and an explanation of why it matters based on jagregory's gist.

To follow GitHub flow you should really have created a fork initially as a public representation of the forked repository and the clone that instead. My understanding is that the typical setup would have your local repository pointing to your fork as origin and the original forked repository as upstream so that you can use these keywords in other git commands.

  1. Clone some repo (you've probably already done this step).

    git clone git@github...some-repo.git
