Rails-core announced yesterday that they are moving to Git source control hosted at github. Github is this really nice social-networking-meets-source-control site that helps support developers using Git help each other. It’s hard to explain but it is just awesome. It’s like Linked-In or Facebook for open-source developers using Git.
There was a lot of feet dragging and complaining by folks that like Mercurial better or use Windows (Ouch!) over at the rubyonrails blog entry.
I switched to Git 100% months ago for all my projects and haven’t looked back. It changes everything you know about source control. I think this is a really smart move by Rails-core team. I think the amount of contributions to Rails is just going to go ballistic. Acceleration to the next level. …Hive-mind…
