Does anyone have a preference on when we move our git repo? I think it will mostly just be a change in URL and we'll have to update our local checkouts "origin" url, and I can change the forge-allura.apache.org mirroring of it.
It looks like the new system will also allow committers to set up integration with GitHub and do commits through GitHub since there is bi-directional sync between them. My preference would be to keep activity centered on our own self-hosted forge-allura.apache.org of course :) -Dave On 12/7/18 11:52 AM, Daniel Gruno wrote: > [IF YOUR PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE GIT REPOSITORIES ON GIT-WIP-US PLEASE > DISREGARD THIS EMAIL; IT WAS MASS-MAILED TO ALL APACHE PROJECTS] > > Hello Apache projects, > > I am writing to you because you may have git repositories on the > git-wip-us server, which is slated to be decommissioned in the coming > months.
