was the norm , watching came lot later
Aha! So is that why there are so many accounts that just contain forked repositories with no further commits?
(I suppose it was a heavy form of bookmarking something.)
- senthilnayagam 15y agoGit workflow is evolving, and github in its forefront If you want to compare on contributors Rails would again beat most open source projects , I remember seeing that number well above 1000
- vijaydev 15y agoLast count: 2155 as per http://contributors.rubyonrails.org http://contributors.rubyonrails.org :)
- spooneybarger 15y agoSome of us on that list haven't contributed in a really long time. My contributions for example were pre rails 1.0 days so my part of that number isn't really meaningful to current popularity.
- jurre 15y agoI often fork repos to remind myself that I want to contribute to it, but then don't find the time to get started on it. I can imagine there being more people doing that.
