github
github is a git repository host that I discovered through Jakob a few days ago. It's a closed beta, but I have two invites left if anyone wants to give it a whir. I've moved daonut from Google Code to this product and so far am really loving it. Key features include:
- Full commit messages by branch/tag
- Easy source checkout
- In-browser source viewing
- Hooks to set up custom notifications using your own website
- Project wiki
- Watchlist for other projects
- RSS feed of changelog
The two features I want are a URL for a diff (already reachable via URL hacking, but I want it easy to find), and issue tracking. Other than that, I'm willing to even pay for this service.
git in a multi-repo directory structure
I'm using git for version control both at Gaia and here at home. I'm also using Jakob's Headlight MVC framework, checked out with git. The problem I'm encountering is that the application code is under the repo root. This makes it difficult to separate the applications code I'm writing from the changes I'm making to the core Headlight source. Off the top of my head, I want to say that I add the applications directory to the Headlight exclude list and then make a repo for tracking my application code inside that directory. I have access to a git expert and will be checking with him on what to do.
Update October 31, 2007 10:16 : I'm runnning one repo called headlight_core that will hold all the changes I make to Headlight. I have a second repo that is my website that will pull from that repo. Long term, I will have a third repo that is my staging environment which the production site will pull from.
