  • Github presents Gist

    Think about what it would look like if a versioning system like git and a pastie had a child, and you'd probably came quite close what the folks behind the project hosting service Github let loose on the web just yesterday: Gist, a pastie that supports versioning and much more.

  • Ads and Terms of Service

  • GitHub needs HTTP cloning support

    Posted on June 10, 2008 at 10:57 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    One of the big disadvantages that GitHub has over for instance Gitorious is that there is no way to clone a repository over HTTP. The service is currently limited to cloning via git:// which is quite a problem if you're living behind for instance a corporate firewall.

    There already is a ticket associated with this problem on GitHub's Lighthouseapp project page, where defunct wrote:

    I'm going to close this until more people ask for it. We plan to start keep track of clone stats so git-daemon is actually preferable.

    So please everyone, vote for this ticket.
