Move source to GitHub
« on: September 25, 2015, 07:24:39 AM »
Heya,

I think it will be really great to move a source to GitHub and more contribute! :-)

Whats you think about that?

I fully support this.  It would be rather easy to do too.  After a repo is created on GitHub (replace repo url if necessary):

Code: [Select]
$ git clone http://git.zorchenhimer.com/paintball2/paintball2.git
$ git remote add github git@github.com:jitspoe/paintball2.git
$ git push github master

Or, if you want to generate the history from CVS yourself (The cvsimport will take a while.  Grab a coffee.):
Code: [Select]
$ git cvsimport -d :pserver:anonymous@paintball2.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/paintball2/ -C paintball2 paintball2
$ cd paintball2
$ git remote add github git@github.com:jitspoe/paintball2.git
$ git push github master

This can be done on Windows or Linux.  On windows, open up a Git Bash session (there's a menu icon for it in GitExtensions) and type/copy-paste the commands there.  It's also possible to do it through the gui (sans cvsimport, iirc), but it's just easier to explain this way.

Good to hear more people echoing this sentiment - but FYI it's already been mentioned and discussed over >here<
