GitHub Launched 6

Posted by brian Thursday, April 10, 2008 19:13:00 GMT

GitHub, everyone's (ok, maybe not everyone's... how about my) favorite git repository hosting service, has officially launched. These guys have poured a ton of passion and hard work into this project, and it shows. A good number of Ruby/Rails-related open source projects have already moved over to GitHub, including the Rails source itself.

The list of cool things about GitHub, even on day one, is too long to list. Oh, let's give it a try anyway. How about the OS X client, integration with Lighthouse, the API, the network graph visualizer, the fact you can install Rails plugins from it, and that it's completely free for open source projects.

GitHub is a one-stop shop that makes using git for your projects super-easy, especially if you're new to git (like me). Here are some other resources I've found helpful in my quest to understand what everybody else already seems to know...

    Yeah dude, github rocks solid. I've been using the beta for like a month now for my (soon to be) open source merb blog: feather, and so far I love both github, and git in general. I much prefer git to svn already.

    You guys rock! But, I have one smallish, nit picky problem with you site. I can't print any of your series correctly in either Firefox or IE7.

    Is it me?

    What's the best way to get Git working on Windows?

    Right now, I am installing Cygwin and then the Git 1.5 exe.

    Is this correct?

    @john, yes, this is the only supported way at the moment for running git on Windows. There is, however, a project underway to make it easier: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/... don't know much about it though.

    By means of analytic unity, it is obvious that our sense perceptions are the clue to the discovery of our experience; by means of the never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions, the noumena (and I assert that this is the case) are what first give rise to the Antinomies.

    I have the reflection that the phenomenological epoche is given continuously as an objective unity in a multi-form and changeable multiplicity of noetic acts, which belong determinately to it.
