This makes me feel like the gitlab repo is somehow "incomplete". The `maint` branch has not proven useful and may be dropped one day. The `next` and `nightly` branches are only for the nightly testing infrastructure and not something developers need to use. The GitHub repo is just a mirror of the cmake.org repo and has always had the extra branches and so still does. The GitLab repo is where we are trying to move development so we're populating it only with the branches needed by developers. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

[cmake-developers] gitlab or github? Which should I use for contribution?
I know the cmake repositories on github and gitlab are in sync, so I could base my work on any of them. Still I don't want to maintain two forks and would prefer to switch completely to gitlab.kitware instead. Which should I choose for future contributions? My feeling is I could completely abandon the github repository and pull and push only to gitlab.kitware.com. All merge requests are handled there anyway. Is this right? I can't see all the other branches like maint, next, nightly-* etc. on the gitlab repo. Still these branches get regularly updated on github. This makes me feel like the gitlab repo is somehow "incomplete". Is there some kind of a distinction between "official" and "development" repository? I'm just trying to understand .
