Overr the past few months, and really over the past few weeks, I have been moving my projects to github.com, so leverage my experience as you see fit. I did not know about gitlab, but I did pick github over BitBucket. Though I am not naive to think that many people care to contribute to my pet projects, the 5 person limit on the free version of BitBucket seemed a bit restrictive, where free github's limitation of public only projects actually aligns with my preference on project visibility. Though I think Atlassian is a fine firm, I felt github.com was more established. As a CVS and more recently SVN user, the switch was not overly problematic. Though I have been a heavy source code management system user at work, my personal work is much less demanding. The command line tools are easily understood, but the GUI options worked fine for me as well (maybe I am not as picky as others :-) I do have workflow preferences on where my repos sit in the fs, as I have already running and working rsync jobs that ensure backups are kept and secondary machines have always updated copies of source. As well, tools like Eclipse IDE wanted to move repos elsewhere, so I had to sort that out. I know it's probably not purist, but I found it fastest to create the repo on github using my local naming, and then committing changes to the bare repo and pushing to github. -- Jim Brain brain@jbrain.com www.jbrain.comReceived on 2018-03-15 20:00:02
