The source code for ack now lives on github. http://github.com/petdance/ack

I don't see moving the bug queue over from Google Code, at least not
yet.

xoxo,
Andy

I get the same error. Which is weird, because
http://github.com/petdance/ack/tree/ shows the public repository icon.

Maybe it takes a bit for a new repository to be cloneable?

the pie chart http://github.com/petdance/ack/graphs/languages says we
have 7% PHP 2% shell which is strange since I think we have one PHP
sample in t/etc/. ?
Are they mis detecting some Perl files as PHP ?

and even a fork button ...

might have to do with web vs git server propagation?

there's still a "latest" tag from SVN, however (IIRC) with the way git
works, once somebody downloads a tag with a certain name, the tag
cannot be changed (without them explicitely removing it and fetching
again). so this should probably be handled with a branch instead.

Cheers,
Ryan

The git repo now works, while the Google Code repo does not. It's been
two weeks. It's time to update the web site so that new users (like
me) can download ack without doing detective work.

Thanks!

That would be great. The source for betterthangrep.com is in ~/ack/btg.

Thanks,
