Neverball is on Github! (Page 1 of 2)

Does this mean that translators will no longer have direct commit access? I am fine with that, just asking...

Also, as I am still trying to get comfortable with Git, could someone please commit my Freeland-Extras branch again for me?

The idea is that you submit a pull request (which is like a proposed commit of the difference between your fork and the upstream repo) and have someone else approve it. It's still attributed to you - github shows that your commits come from you, but it gives others a chance to review before everything goes in and gives a more organised approach.

I guess I should rephrase this to something like "I'd like to see some discussion and opinions without flavouring such discussion with my own priorities before anybody else has had a chance to say something"

Does anybody have any opinions?

You won't need it, because you can do translations in your own fork and then make a pull request. Someone with access to the main fork can then pull them over. It's really easy, once you have gotten used to it.

Since I didn't cover that here, just to reiterate what's been said previously, you don't absolutely have to register on Github to participate. You only need a place to publish your repository (which you will have created by cloning the official repo). This can be another Git host that better fits your needs or even your own server. When you have commits that you want integrated, you just have to provide the URL to your public repo and optionally the name of the branch.

As it concerns Elviz (and other major contributors), I would just add his repo as a remote and fetch/merge that regularly (maybe make a mirror repo on my account), since his commits don't really need the scrutiny.

Sweet. If you're on Github, I can just set it up so you don't have to go through me.

In fact I just did. You, tones and mym now have push access to the official repo. That basically means I trust your judgment and you're free to continue about your business. You're able to push commits without review (unless you want to, in which case do make a pull request instead), merge pull requests on your own, and so on. But don't break the official repo just because Git makes that easy.

shino, I forked your Nevertable repository to Neverball/Nevertable.git and gave you push access. You can use it as a mirror if you want, I think the extra visibility won't hurt.

I'll look at migrating the remaining open issues from Trac to github within the next couple of days (parasti and I discussed this previously and he closed all the tickets he felt were no longer relevant).

The forums here and the website should probably have a link to the github repo at some stage (I'm surprised we didn't add any instructions on how to obtain source to the Neverball site to begin with o.0 ).

Yeah, sorry. I meant the repo >_<

This too. No idea what I/we were thinking so far as that goes.

Gets my +1

Yeah, I noticed that when checking the log after the merge. I haven't decided yet whether I mind or not, though it also depends on the beauty standards we want to have for the committer history.

If the authorship information should be uniform across all commits, I could either add my name permanently, change the GitHub profile temporarily for web-based Git operations (a bit cumbersome), or make the commits from the command line instead of pushing the shiny "Merge" button.

Alrighty, all open Trac tickets are now represented on GitHub. Apologies for the notification spam, people <3

Hey, thanks
