So, do you think it is possible to create something similar, but with the support for some other version control system, like mercurial? Or even a centralized one like svn?
Could it even be github to offer this, despite the name?
- Popcorn 16y agoThere's a github clone for mercurial: http://bitbucket.org/ http://bitbucket.org/
- Aaronontheweb 16y agoCodePlex (most commonly used for .NET projects) has support for Mercurial but I don't think its social features are quite as strong as Github's.
- gxti 16y agoMercurial has http://bitbucket.org/ http://bitbucket.org/ -- not nearly as popular but a tad less cluttered IMHO.
- JoshCole 16y agoThere is a hg plugin which allows lossless communication between git and hg [1]. So in a way github already exists for mercurial, and since it already exists there is no question as to whether or not it is possible to do. 1: http://hg-git.github.com/ http://hg-git.github.com/
- m0tive 16y agoI've been experimenting with bzr-git, pushing my bazaar branches to github... so far, so good (though I've not really done any 'social' stuff yet or been branching other peoples work).
- a_m0d 16y agoGithub actually offers support for svn, in a way - see http://help.github.com/svn-importing/ http://help.github.com/svn-importing/ for a bit more info. It is also possible to use git on top of svn - see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html
