Hi all, I've been thinking for a while that we should move most or all of our git repos to github.com.
I have a few reasons for this: 1.) Currently we actually have to do work to manage gitweb and user keys, etc. Not much work I guess, but why do something that someone else already offers as a free service? Any change to reduce the management overhead is a plus. And github has lots of excellent help articles for helping people new to git. B.) Better community interaction. Github is the de-facto place for open source projects right now. It has big shiny buttons for forking projects and applying patches and a pretty front page for each repo that is easy to browse. Adding a github link to our business cards would be a clear win in my opinion. iii.) Recognition. These days people's github accounts are like mini resumes. I've been asked a number of times for a link to github *instead* of a resume. By default github will list your contributions to other projects on the site. This is a big deal for students when they start to look for jobs. I would love for our member's commits to show up on their github page. (for the shy: you can set your membership to private) γ.) Issue tracking. Optionally you can turn on issue tracking for a repo in github. This may be something we want. I'm more than happy to do the migration work. The only issue I've come across so far is someone already has the username PSAS. It's empty, so I wonder if someone in our group was sitting on this? If you own: https://github.com/psas Or know the person who does, could you let me know? Otherwise I'm going to fall back to "/pdxaerospace".
