sf and github have two completely different purposes. github is primarily meant for hosting git repositories and provides some limited ability to distribute documentation. Cloning a repo from github is equivalent to cloning a repo from SF (unless you are using a software package put together by the github folks). > I haven't serious compared sf with github.

So I feel that github is the trend. Its pull request feature > is also very convenient. Again, I really think that github is not meant to be a substitute for SF. If anything, it's complementary. Google Code, however, is much more like an SF alternative. It provides a mechanism for distributing documentation, gathering bug requests, scrutinizing patches, and other SF-like features. Although github has some ability to do these things, github is primarily meant to enable developer collaboration on particular projects. It is not meant to be the end-user front end. > Why these people start cloning into github? My interpretation is that > github is much more convenient and more people are using github.

At the level of distributing source via a git repository, the two are equivalent. They differ in the additional services provided to collaborating developers, but in both cases developers can collaborate effectively without using any of those features. --Ted -- Ted Pavlic <t...@tedpavlic.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
