I agree with Sitaram on this, "The tortoise type stuff can only do the mundane actions like commit and diff. The feature set of git is so different that if you contort it into those tools commonly known interface, you'll be limiting yourself. "
I do agree with you though Nazgulled on the Google Code point you made. Lots more people have Google Accounts. People who have GitHub accounts are generally not your regular users, they are developer whereas many of your users might have Google Accounts. Of course, when you think about it, the sign up process itself is easy and is not the issue you should be concerned with. What you should really consider is, is it easier for regular users to enter issues on GitHub or on Google Code? I'm not saying which is easier or which is better, but that's what I think you should be concerned with. The extra step of creating a GitHub account is well worth it if your users can enter the issues more easily. http://twitter.com/deceth On May 1, 2:20 am, Icebreaker <[email protected]> wrote: > > 2) Now days, most people as a Google Account but not a GitHub account > > and that will not change. > > I wouldn't be so sure about this one, GitHub it's the "Facebook" of source > code hosting :)) > > > > On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 3:44 AM, Nazgulled <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I've always used SVN and TortoiseSVN as I mostly develop for Windows > > and that's not going to change any time soon... > > > Overall, I like the concept of Git and the whole GitHub website, it > > also looks much better than Google Code.
