[Discuss] any experienGitUp
Hi all -- Does anyone have experience using GitUp (http://gitup.co/ ) ? As it's Mac-only, it's unlikely to be useful for Software Carpentry teaching, but might be helpful elsewhere..

Re: [Discuss] any experienGitUp
I've been using it pretty regularly for the pat couple of weeks. I find it very useful for getting a sense of where I am in a repository, particularly one with several collaborative branches. It also has nice creature comforts like simple keyboard shortcuts for mundane tasks such as editing commit messages. It would be useful for teaching because it stays out of the way until you need it, but is always available as a point of reference. cf --- Chris Fonnesbeck Assistant Professor of Biostatistics Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt Center for Quantitative Sciences Vanderbilt University School of Medicine On Mon, Jun 15, 2015 at 6:58 AM -0700, Pauline Barmby pbar...@uwo.camailto:pbar...@uwo.ca wrote: Hi all -- Does anyone have experience using GitUp (http://gitup.co/ ) ?

Re: [Discuss] Food for thought for the Python 2 vs 3 debate
For what its worth, a SWC bootcamp was tough at UC Berkeley 2 weeks ago. And was 100% python 3 (well the Python part, not the git and command line part of course). We didn’t had any issues. A couple of questions about python2, but nothing serious. As usual a couple of people came with no software installed, or where using Python2. Some old habits of instructor are still sticking around (show python docs on Python2, and minor details). But the Python3 teaching was a success. — M On Jun 15, 2015, at 17:46, Greg Wilson gvwil...@software-carpentry.org wrote: Python 3 it is.

Re: [Discuss] Food for thought for the Python 2 vs 3 debate
This was a timely post by Maxime, because I was just thinking of surveying instructors about what they use for their own work and what were the thoughts about porting SWC lessons to Python 3. I can’t remember if there was a recent thread on this… Worth creating an issue (or something even more formal) and having people state their cases? We are using Python 3 for the next edition of our book, but I feel a bit like the first guy over the wall at the Battle of Hastings, looking over my shoulder at the other 85% huddled in relative safety . -Steve On Jun 15, 2015, at 12:17 , Maxime Boissonneault maxime.boissonnea...@calculquebec.ca wrote: Some interresting reading : http://astrofrog.github.io/blog/2015/05/09/2015-survey-results/ Maxime ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.software-carpentry.org http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org

Re: [Discuss] Food for thought for the Python 2 vs 3 debate
Steve, the switch to Python 3 is happening for v5.4: https://github.com/swcarpentry/python-novice-inflammation/issues/127 We're using Python 3 for our book also and devoting a few paragraphs to why and to how to make it run in Python 2.7 if absolutely necessary. So you are not alone in your charge. =) Regardless of how we all feel about the transition, it's clear that it's not going away, and nobody wants to work in a forked language. Juan.
