are there any private github repos? I would expect not. In which case you can clone any repo you want. But the preferred workflow, I guess, would be for people to fork, push their changes to their repo in their account, and send a pull request. Then one of the core team will review, and take that in. It is a better way of accepting patches. Makes it easier for the fork-er to keep track of the tip of the source tree, and more chance of their pull request being more relevant. <br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi Michael,<div><br></div><div>I was just wondering what the project name would be in GitHub. By private, I just meant that on GitHub there will be private committers (you and others, as part of the Drools team) and a public repository that can be forked for individuals (non-committers such as myself) to make downstream changes on their own GitHub accounts. Non drools committers can then propose changes as a pull request or the traditional patch. It will make it really easy (and fun) for people like myself to try out some ideas and changes for our specific applications. :) </div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, really stupid question on my part, as I assume you guys will broadcast the repo name on the mailing lists as well as the website when you're ready. I'm just excited, that's all. :)</div>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
This is just a friendly reminder that<br>
I need your github login by the end of the day<br>
if you have SVN commit rights and want to have those on github too.<br>
Do include your svn login, full name and github used e-mail address.<br>

Hi guys,<br>

We been talking a while on this on IRC,<br>

<b>we are moving to git on github</b>.<br>

What do you need to do?<br>
===============<br>
<br>
If you are a drools committer and wish to continue committing
after next Saturday 18-DEC-2010.<br>
1) Install git for your OS<br>
1a) Linux: Install the package git (and optionally gitk)<br>
$ sudo apt-get install git<br>
$ sudo apt-get install gitk<br>
1b) Windows: Use the icon on the right on <a href="http://git-scm.com/" target="_blank">http://git-scm.com</a><br>
1c) Mac OSX: Use the icon on the right on <a href="http://git-scm.com/" target="_blank">http://git-scm.com</a> (and optionally
install gitx from <a href="http://gitx.frim.nl/" target="_blank">http://gitx.frim.nl/</a>
)<br>
2) Install git in your IDE<br>
2b) Eclipse: Install the EGit plugin. Menu Help, menu item
Install new software. Work with update site Helios, open Tree item
Collaboration, tree item Eclipse EGit.<br>
2c) IntelliJ: Enable the git plugin (if not enabled): menu file,
menu item Other Settings, menu item Configure plugins.<br>
3) Get a Github account: <a href="https://github.com/signup/free" target="_blank">https://github.com/signup/free</a><br>
4) Configure git correctly (Github also tells you this):<br>
$ git --version<br>
git version 1.7.1<br>
$ git config --global <a href="http://user.name/" target="_blank">user.name</a> myUsername<br>
$ git config --global user.email <a href="mailto:myAccount@gmail.com" target="_blank">myAccount@gmail.com</a><br>
$ git config --global -l<br>
<a href="http://user.name/" target="_blank">user.name</a>=ge0ffrey<br>
user.email=ge0ffrey.spam@...<br>
5) <b>Mail me these details before next Thursday 16-DEC-2010</b>
<br>
(to gds.geoffrey.de.smet at gmail dot com or ge0ffrey.spam at
gmail dot com )<br>
if you are a drools committer (which I 'll verify):<br>
5a) Your Github username<br>
5b) Your JBoss Subversion username<br>
5c) Your full name<br>
5d) Your e-mail address (used on github). Note: you can register
more than 1 e-mail address on GitHub.<br>
6) Push your public key to github:<br>
Follow the instructions on <a href="http://github.com/guides/providing-your-ssh-key" target="_blank">http://github.com/guides/providing-your-ssh-key</a><br>
<br>
<b>Do NOT commit changes to subversion after Friday evening (so
after 8:00 GMT Saturday 18-DEC-2010).</b><br>
The svn to git migration will probably take hours. Sorry in
advance for the hindrance.<br>
I 'll send a mail to the drools dev list when svn commits are
forbidden and also when git commits are open.<br>
More info about the git URL and switching tips & tricks will
follow soon.<br>
<br>
Why are we moving to git?<br>
=================<br>
<br>
Subversion has been great (and much better than CVS), but git's
just better.<br>
<br>
How my life improved since last month when I used svn. by Emmanuel
Bernard (Hibernate annotations etc lead)<br>

Why is git better than subversion?<br>

<br>
What will you get by moving to git?<br>
======================<br>
<br>
- Less merge conflicts and therefor easier branching<br>
<br>
- Pull requests<br>
<br>
Pull requests are <i>really cool</i>. It's like <i>patches on
steroids</i>.<br>
Ever been in a situation where you made a big, risky change?<br>
You wanted to commit it (to get it off your plate, it's done),<br>
but you'd like to get it peer reviewed by colleague X (because
it's risky).<br>
But a patch file didn't work because:<br>
- A patch file can't handle binary files<br>
- A patch file probably results in a merge conflict on applying
(so X ignores them)<br>
- Applying a patch file needs to be done on the correct directory<br>
- A patch file will forget I am the author and will make X the
author<br>
- A patch file does not allow for a conversation when X wants me
to change something before committing it<br>
With git, just commit it as a pull request. Take a look at the
pull requests (with comments!) on hibernate-core:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-core/pulls" target="_blank">https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-core/pulls</a><br>
<br>
- Multitasking in isolation<br>
You work on a big improvement but you stumble up an existing bug
(in the same file(s)).<br>
You want to fix the bug, the unfinished changes of the big
improvement break the build.<br>
And - even worse - the big improvement changes break because of
the existing bug.<br>
