Re: [m2e-dev] Moving Git repo to GitHub?
|
I personally don't care about what's "better" (the good is always the
enemy of the better) but find the workflow of GitHub much more easier
than the gerrit flow (even though I finally managed to get this working
to some extend). Maybe this is because Eclipse using an outdated gerrit,
maybe because I'm not familiar enough with git at all to understand all
the pros and cons :-)
As it is all git, it should be possible to handle GithubPRs as
Gerrit-Reviews, but thats maybe out of scope.
I find it generally easier to participate(!) via gihub just because you
don't need (at first place) an 'extra' account and could work with many
projects (eclipse or others) by just hitting the fork button.
The split between git and gerrit-review was confusing at least when I
started working with gerrit, also that I have to configure different
push-targets and can't fork right away.
From my side I would always vote for any project to participate in
github instead of an own infra (either cvs,sv,gti,... whatever) not
because the one is better but because of the bigger user-base and the
incredible easy way to fork and instantly start to hack, push and open a
PR without any need to acquire the right "access-levels".

Hi all,
I saw some PR incoming to GitHub, with people who have rarely pushed
them to Gerrit although they were asked to.
Although we can definitely all (particularly Fred :P) agree Gerrit is
technically superior by orders of magnitude and does Git right, unlike
GitHub, we can also all agree that GitHub is more standard, better known
by the mass, and helps at attracting new contributors.
What do other committers or regular contributors think about it? Would
you be okay to use GitHub in place of Gerrit or do you foresee some
major issues with that migration?
Cheers,
