To me it sounds like you mean GitHub put collaboration on a new level.
But reuse - no. I don't remember ever pulling a dependency from GitHub (stupid question, but is that even possible?), although I've been doing that for many years from Maven, NuGet, npm, CPAN.
- wrs 4y agoPulling dependencies from GitHub is standard usage for the package managers of Ruby, Go, Rust, and others. That is, they pull from Git, and it doesn’t have to be GitHub but it usually is.
- steveklabnik 4y agoCargo does not pull from git or GitHub by default, you must specifically request that.
- wrs 4y agoSorry, yes, for Ruby and Rust I should have said “they can pull from git”. Point being, it is possible and when you do it GitHub is the most likely source.
- jrgnsd 4y agoRuby gems (libraries) aren't pulled feom github. Yes, you CAN pull it from there, but most public and published gems don't come from there.
