Merge repository into original repository #22

Open ikbenben opened 9 years ago

ikbenben commented 9 years ago

This brackets-response repository is a copy of the Response-for-brackets repository but instead of creating a fork of the original repository, a brand new repository was created. This has resulted into two code bases with the code deviating from each other and possibly duplicate work being done.

We should merge the code back into the Response-for-brackets and delete this repository.

There are a number of issues that have been addressed on the Response-for-brackets repository now and a new "Response for Brackets - original" extension has been uploaded to the extension manager which is based on the brimelow Response-for-brackets repository with all the fixes found in https://github.com/ikbenben/Response-for-Brackets/tree/all-fixes

Can we discuss how we can achieve this goal? I have time to work on it at the moment

I disagree. It's great that you have done some work but you should not have created a new repository. Instead you should have forked Lee's original repository so there is one code base. If you read Lee's post that you reference (which was posted as a result of this confusion and me talking with him), you will see that he intends to merge your code back into his repository.

We should get the code merged back into Lee's code base. Why would we want 2 code bases and duplicate the effort?

I've been fixing code on a fork of Lee's code base.

The question is how we do it.

My first thought is to review the list of open and closed issues that have been opened in this repository and determine which ones are still valid in Lee's repository. The valid issues can then be duplicated over to Lee's repository and then merge any code fixes for the issues that have been closed in this repository.

Additionally, it would be good for you to highlight what features you have added if any.
