The Parrot Github Organization

[Jonathan Leto]

Howdy,

Patrick Michaud gave me admin access to the Parrot Github
Organization, so I've created a team called "Developers". I think I
have added most parrot committers, but I am sure I missed a few. If
you have a commit bit to SVN but I've missed you, or you want to
create a github account now, please let me know your github username,
offlist.

NOTE: Currently I have a script which mirrors branches from SVN to
github, and also removes branches from github that aren't on SVN, so
we don't have a bunch of dead branches in github. That means that
right now, if you create a branch on github, and I run that script, IT
WILL DELETE YOUR BRANCH. I don't want anyone to lose any work, so we
need a solution. Here are some possibilities:

1) Don't remove branches from github automatically, do it manually.
2) Everyone forks parrot.git until git is "canonical"
3) Have people create branches in a "namespace", for example: New
branches on github can be given the prefix "git/", and then I can
modify my script to not remove branches that match "git/.*"

What do y'all think?

Also, I am going to work on our git workflow document today, stay tuned!

I also need to look into how to get our own git repo hosted on
git.parrot.org or something like that. Then github will become a
"mirror", with many nice extra features that we can choose from.

Duke
