One of the features I am missing in OSF is git support. The link with Github is really practical, but it would be nice that we could also push the code that is still work in progress to a private component before we push it to github. Having to upload every file in the project without any sort of version control during the work-in-progress phase is really tedious and not convenient, to the extent that I consider using bitbucket for that purpose. So I strongly suggest that you consider adding git support, I am sure many researchers would appreciate it :)

You know Github offers free Micro accounts (5 private repos discounted to free for 2 years) for researchers?
I think Github does git pretty well maybe the OSF can’t do everything :-)

Thanks a lot for the tip!

I still think git support would be terrific for OSF. Please notice that it's a suggestion, not a critique ;)

I replied to this via Facebook, but in case others would be interested:

OSF-specific storage is git-backed for both public and private
components. We have third-party storage via add-ons, and, in that
realm, we support Github attached to projects. Github offers unlimited
free public repos and 5 free private repos (for educators and
researchers):

https://education.github.com/discount_requests/new

Public or private repos on Github can be added to public or private
components on the OSF. Public-public, public-private, private-public,
private-private--they all work.

The OSF git-backed storage does not support git via push pull
operations although that feature may be coming soon. For now, to link
a private repo to the OSF and have git push/pull access, you'd need to
connect a private Github repo to your components.

Hope that's helpful,

Jeff.
