Rails moves to GitHub; Git is the new black
Rails has officially moved to GitHub. The GitHub guys have done an awesome job capitalizing on the growing trend of git usage, especially in the Rails community, and of course getting ‘official blessing’ from the Rails core team themselves means that many more projects are sure to follow.
I’ve been using git-svn to work on a local branch of our svn when I work on Planypus and have enjoyed the ability to do local commits on the go. I can’t say I’ve quite mastered all the ins and outs of it yet but working with git via git-svn is pretty smooth and it’s fun to see all the output that shows your changes being played back when you do ‘git svn rebase’. Other than that, working with git does require a bit of a paradigm shift because the primary entity is the changeset rather than the file. I hope to get a better handle on things like reverting in the near future and am watching the progress of GitHub and friends with great enthusiasm.
