hi Frank, I am using GIT and code.google.com.
https://code.google.com/p/pythondecimallibrary/
I have not used Code Google prior to the pdeclib project; however, I
plan to use it in the future extensively, at least for my open source
projects (and when I am thinking about bringing another person on board.
Code Google permits three version|control|access systems (I use GIT,
a very simple command line interface). The thing is that the code
resides on a person's machine as a clone of the repository, and is
assessable from anywhere in the world, allows multiple developer
participation, allows multiple branches|merge|master, and allows access
to the source on-line (browse|edit), and permits new members to clone
the repository from anywhere. Downloads are zipped.
The down-side is also the up-side. Code Google is an open source
developer collaborative environment for sharing & managing. Anything you
put there belongs to everyone in the project, and can be viewed by
anyone in the world (which is kinda the point of open source). There is
a supreme benefit to having multiple eyes on the code. People maybe not
even involved in the project directly will comment on the code (and they
are not shy). You code will improve dynamically and radically (if you
have the guts for it).
It took me a couple of hours to get up to speed with Code Google. It
took another hour or so to come up to speed with GIT. You need to create
the project on Code Google first. Then on your machine, in the code
directory (the directory actually holding the source files that you are
going to make a part of your project) you do these things:
git init
this builds the .git subdirectory needed for push
git add file-name
add each filename you want to commit and push
git remove
removes any unwanted files
git commit -a
edit your commit comments here , or provide default
git push https://code.google.com/p/whateveryourprojectnameis/ master
sends the files on their way
other files: .gitconfig .netrc
You will place your name, email, and method (use simple) in the
.gitconfig file. The .netrc file will contain the login info for code
google machine.
Read the GIT manual on-line; its pretty easy too.
