Github

I’ve decided to play with Github recently. I like it.

Git confuses the hell out of me. I get how it works (use Mercurial regularly at work, which is the same DVCS idea), but github does seem to make certain things much easier (setting up a remote repo, worrying about SSH keys, that sort of thing), and gives you an idiot’s guide to the complicated bits (initialising the local repository, setting the remote master).

It doesn’t seem to be as feature filled as Bitbucket, but it’s possible that I just haven’t gotten around to prodding at it enough. I can’t find ticket or wiki support anywhere. Support for multiple “organisations” is nice though (you can associate your account with multiple roles, and not get your personal stuff mixed up with your work stuff, for example), may end up using it some day.

Another nice feature is the github web page thing that you get. Need to look more into what can be done with this, but it’s a nice little perk.
