[Building Sakai] Curiosity on use of GitHub

[William Karavites]

My reasoning is that we have so many different types of branches that it 'should' be easier to manage. I guess we'll have to see what happens.

In my opinion, Git is easier in some ways, but not in others. Subversion is based on a push strategy - changes must be merged/checked into a branch. Git works on a pull strategy. When you want to contribute something, you send a pull request and those responsible for managing the source either accept it, or not. Thus, there is a change in process when switching from one to the other.

Sounds Good! 

Just from using it over the last few weeks, it just seemed that the switch should make things easier for everyone.

There is a plan in place to migrate Sakai to GitHub. Much of it is already in place, I believe. Subversion and Git are being synchronized. At a future release (perhaps Sakai 10), the community might fully switch. Meanwhile, we get the best of both worlds.

I just started getting more involved with projects on GitHub and started to wonder why the Sakai community doesn't put their code on there? 



    * It is extremely well known and used all over. 
    * Chances are you've used Git before. 
    * It allows automated build testing (Travis-Ci) 
    * Easier access for the community and other people to work with it 


        * With access control of course 
    * 
The web interface along with the multitude of Git programs allow a much bigger flexibility in contributions. 

I was just curious about this.
