I have found the 'hub' and 'lab' tools very useful for avoiding trips to the web browser. https://github.com/github/hub https://github.com/zaquestion/lab ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Or did I misunderstand? Too many trips to the web browser, too many re-clones of the repo (or esoteric git command-lines), and too many left-over repos in your own namespace.

It should still be easy to fork the project, push a branch to your namespace, and then submit a MR. Or did I misunderstand?

My main problem is/was that contributing by pushing a branch is super- easy, but you can't contribute by pushing a branch if you're not allowed to push a branch. So this isn't a problem when you're in @GNOME, and the project is as well, but I've not bothered pushing small fixes to non-GNOME group modules. Per-commit reviews are absolutely head-against-the-desk because the UI is really bad, and the diff tool is sluggish. I miss splinter if I have more than one commit to review. All-in-all, it's still a better, and known, workflow for people who didn't want to, or couldn't learn about git-bz, and having a CI available is awesome. Don't even need to spend a second reviewing patches that don't build ;) Good job :) ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
