I decided I'd better glance at the Wikipedia feature comparison before hitting the post button. Which is fine, we can collaborate here in the forums or on their forums, I guess.
When I use SourceForge I use it for push and pull only, nothing else. But for collaborative work SourceForge doesn't appear to have the infrastructure that GitHub does. I have used both and will continue using them. If it does, I really want to know about it and will use it when I am working on anything hosted there.Īgain, not trying to start anything here. While they both work for getting my work from my computer to the main repo, that is where the comparisons end, at least in what I have found and used.ĭoes SourceForge have anything like the collaborative structure of I have used both systems, GitHub to do major work on the c172p and SourceForge for some work on the Shuttle. I sincerely want to know if it is there and I haven't found it. Would you be so kind as to point out where SourceForge development has the extraordinarily convenient, collaborative, interface that GitHub has? This is no joke or an attempt to be steering anything.
Anyway, that was just a little bit of self advertising and myth busting for the FlightGear project If you look at the Wikipedia feature comparison, you'll see that SourceForge provides all the services GitHub has, but adds a lot more (shell servers, mailing lists, forums). Transferring existing git repositories between different remote repositories is also incredibly easy (create the remote git repository, set it up as a second remote in your local copy, then push). For example here are instructions for setting up a SourceForge account (which also lets you vote for the project of the month), and simple instructions for setting up a git repository.
