Moving to GitHub
Saturday 3 October 2009 - Filed under Uncategorized
A while ago (when it was first posted, I guess) I enjoyed watching Linus’s Google Tech Talk about how much better git is than everything else – the one where he says SVN users are stupid and ugly. Since then, I’d been curious about git, but had held off actually using it, mostly because I had a reliable SVN server that was going fine.
A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across the second GTT on git – which focuses on how it works, how to use it, etc rather than the chest-beating exercise of the first instalment. And I got hooked.
Why? It’s fast. Really, really insanely fast. Oh, and it works when I don’t have network access, which is quite a bit, because this piece of garbage likes to crash. Don’t buy them.
So tonight beedee and I moved pretty much everything interesting from our SVN server to github:
- Corfu-1.3 – extensible lightweight text editor in C#.
- IJW Profiler for .NET & Java – like dotTrace, except fast, free, and doesn’t crash nearly as much
- Ijw.Framework / Ijw.Updates / Ijw.Math – core libraries that we use. This is mostly stuff that we wish was in System.*
- Ijw.Physics – Managed wrapper to Newton Game Dynamics
- Ijw.DirectX – Managed interface to DirectX 9
- Ijw.Skeletal – simple skeletal animation library for C#, accepting the Cal3D model format
- OpenRA – free GPU-crazy reimplementation of Red Alert
- oncpu – a simple CPU affinity wrapper for buggy old windows apps
