Moving to Github
Posted by Jon Yurek
Apr 15
We’re moving our plugins, gems, and other open source projects to github. I know, it’s a shock. We’re going to keep the SVN versions of them going for a while, but the “official” repositories for each of these is now what’s hosted on github. So get busy with the hot forking action.
We’ve got:
- Jester
- Shoulda (and its gem)
- Paperclip
- Squirrel
- Quiet Backtrace
- MileMarker
- When
- What
By-and-large, we’ve resisted the move to git, despite the searing heat it’s been putting off in the Ruby community recently. We’re still a centralized development house, and so our internal development will still be SVN-based. It’s just how we roll. Though I imagine a few of the guys here will start picking up git-svn.

Of course, you’ll soon realize that Git is better at centralized development than Subversion is. That’s just how it rolls :)

Heh, that may be. We’ll see, especially after tinkering around with git-svn.

Congrats on your newfound gitness. I’m not as much of an advocate as Chris is (of course), but I’ll second that git works very well with centralized development.
Anyway, the real reason I’m leaving this comment is because I think that picture is amazing.
