Smarty on Github, possibility?

[Fran Diéguez]

Hi all,

I'm writing this message to ask developers why they don't create a repository mirror on GitHub, or even move Smarty development to Github.

The main reason to ask for this is to speed up composer installations (https://packagist.org/packages/smarty/smarty), as for now using svn it is quite slow to use.

Using Git has a lot of advantages:

• Git is much faster than Subversion
• Git's repositories are much smaller than Subversions (for the Mozilla project, 30x smaller)
• Git was designed to be fully distributed from the start, allowing each developer to have full local control
• Git branches are simpler and less resource heavy than Subversion's
• Git branches carry their entire history

 - and many more.

I think this move will also help Smarty to get contributions from other users, given the large community of PHP developers in Github.

Regards.

The up cumming Smarty 3.2  will be on GitHub. (I  use it already internally during the development)

For some reason Monte decided a while ago not to convert Smarty 2 and Smarty 3.1   at  this time.

Of cause all your arguments are right.

I believe you can actually use github as SVN as there is a compatibility layer.  https://github.com/blog/626-announcing-svn-support
