Git hosting #145

Closed jennybc closed 8 years ago

jennybc commented 8 years ago

Of course @gvwilson's threat to "ship it" made me re-read everything again. About to push some very minor fixes.

But I also plan to fiddle with this:

This is largely because of the popularity of GitHub, a hosting site that provides free repositories to those willing to make their work openly accessible. For those who find Git's command-line syntax inconsistent and confusing, Mercurial is a good choice; Bitbucket provides free hosting for both Git and Mercurial repositories, but does not have nearly as many scientific users.

I want to rephrase the bit about free stuff now that GitHub provides unlimited free private repos to academics and nonprofits. It also feels like GitLab deserves a mention.

I will Just. Do. This. but invite input if anyone else cares about this at all.
