log into github, there you can become a member for both gists yourself somehow:
nixpkgs: https://gist.github.com/2995910 public git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git private (push): git remote add gist g...@gist.github.com:2995910.git nixos: https://gist.github.com/2995911 public git://github.com/NixOS/nixos.git private (push): git remote add gist g...@gist.github.com:2995911.git Thus if you run git remote add gist .. Then you can push to the repositories by git push gist your-branch and fetch everything by git fetch gist or cleanup (git remote prune gist; git gc) IMPORTANT: This is experimental. I have not checked when github deletes gists - so keep local copies (you will have them anyway). As policy I'd just recommend using branch names such as: need-help/... for patches you need help with review/... for patches you want to be reviewed feed-upstream/... which should be ready for merging upstream complicated patches should be kept here for a week so that they can be commented on the mailinglist. attick/... when cleaning up branches could be moved here. YOUR_NAME/... your personal stuff experimental/... things which may go to review/ or feed-upstream one day Everything else is up to your liking. Sample workflow: git branch need-help/gcc-experiments git push gist need-help/gcc-experiments # write to mailinglist, people can create # gcc-experiments-proposal-{1,2,3} or the like Then the patch could be moved to review/ or feed-upstream by git branch -m feed-upstream/gcc-experiments # push new: git push gist feed-upstream/gcc-experiments # delete old location: git push gist :need-help/gcc-experiments Now people can do git fetch once every 4 days and see what's new, in progress, pending, urgent whatsoever. I hope that both: nix-free (if it ever survives the following X weeks) and nixos members enjoy using these playgrounds. Its not perfect but will make it easy to understand whats going on. (still pushing master to the nixpkgs gist) Marc Weber _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
