GitHub migration #91

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Bill,

Have you considered migrating optiboot to GitHub?  It's so much more of a 
fertile ground for collaboration.  It could benefit optiboot greatly on the 
long run.

I'd gladly help you with the migration if needed.

Best,
Laci

Why?  I haven't seen a big comparison, and they seem very interchangeable to me.
Based on the Arduino github repository, I think I like the issue tracker here a 
bit better...

In short, mainly because of pull requests.  I was thinking about submitting a 
patch for ATMega48 support but compared to pull requests creating a patch 
manually is so much of a hassle that I have little desire doing so.

You're assuming that trunk owners ever actually service pull requests.  It 
doesn't seem all that common on the github repositories I've seen.  Perhaps 
because

It seems to me that you haven't finished your last "Perhaps because ..." 
sentence.  I'd be interested about your reasoning.

Please consider https://github.com/mondalaci/supervisord-php-client which is a 
project of mine.  I started it about a year ago and 6 contributors have 
submitted patches in the meantime.  This project may not be the norm but I'm 
confident that this level of collaboration wouldn't have happened anywhere else.

I would also vouch for git and github.com as platform, because at least from my 
experience people are far more accustomed to it than to this platform. In 
general github.com offers far more and better development tools (bug tracker, 
stats, etc.) and is actively developed, whereas Google Code seems to be "dead" 
to me.

Done.   Now at https://github.com/Optiboot/optiboot

In general, I prefer to receive patches rather than pull/merge requests, so 
that I can make style corrections and minor changes, as "needed."

I think I like the Google Code issue handler a lot better than GitHub's.  Am I 
missing something?
