• Pick your Default Branch

    pjhyett 22 Apr 2009

    Most repos use the branch `master` as their default, but Git doesn’t force this upon you and why should we? Now you can change it to whatever you want. This means two things (using ant as an example):

    Will the automated gem builder continue to monitor the master branch or will it monitor the default branch instead?

    This solves a problem I was going to have in about two weeks. Thanks, guys!

    Ditto what mojodna said. Also, would love to have multiple gems for both the stable and master branches where the default one doesn't have any branch distiguishifier. E.g. chriseppstein-compass, chriseppstein-compass-master

    Please please please make the branch dropdown more sane. We create branches every 2 weeks, and so our branch dropdown is pages and pages long, and if you don't have a mousewheel it's virtually impossible to find the branch you want. Please order them by creation date, newest first.

    @lukec, you're doing it wrong. Use branches as active lines of development. Merge between branches when you hand code off or transition it to a new state of development. Add tags every couple weeks so that you can branch off of them if you need to.

    flash sucks, because it is one of the most common sources of firefox crashes, and since the implementation is not open source, it is impossible for the community to track those down and fix them. Computer Science degree AND Nursing school

    However, in addition to that, we’re opening up the first release of our whole version 2 API, including Repository, User, Commit, Object and Network APIs, with more (including Gist) on the way soon. We’re still working on it, but if you’re brave of heart, please try it out and let us know if you find any issues. online doctoral degree AND business school AND Bachelor degrees
