Code Moving to GitHub
I’m a big fan of distributed version control for a lot of reasons, but sites like GitHub and BitBucket really strike at the heart of the issue: real coding should be a social phenomenon, if for no other reason than code is really about sharing ideas, and code should be addressed to human beings rather than to a computer.
The self-hosted Mercurial repositories I used to host at http://code.etherplex.org are now gone, and the subdomain is now a redirect to my GitHub profile, where I’ll be migrating all my active and psuedo-active coding efforts. While I tend to prefer Mercurial, the community at large has spoken, and I’m happy to use Git for the majority of my work if it helps engage the community. So, head on over to Code Etherplex and check out what I’ve posted. Not much yet, but I’ll be pushing a lot of my in-progress work to GitHub in the next couple of weeks.
Interesting to hear you say that “the community at large has spoken” – thats the first I’ve read that but its felt like that for a long time now.
Nice emacs screeencasts btw…picked up a few interesting tips :)
