Pull requests<\/a> and issues<\/a> filed on github are most welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curl project<\/a> has been around for a long time by now and we’ve been through several different version control systems. The most recent switch was when we switched to git from CVS back in 2010. We were late switchers but then we’re conservative in several regards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we switched to git we also switched to github<\/a> for the hosting, after having been self-hosted for many years before that. By using github we got a lot of services, goodies and reliable hosting at no cost. We’ve been enjoying that ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, as we have been a traditional mailing list driving project for a long time, I have previously not properly embraced and appreciated pull requests and issues filed at github since they don’t really follow the old model very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just very recently I decided to stop fighting those methods and instead go with them. A quick poll among my fellow team mates showed no strong opposition and we are now instead going full force ahead in a more github embracing style. I hope that this will lower the barrier and remove friction for newcomers and allow more people to contribute easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an effect of this, I would also like to encourage each and everyone who is interested in this project as a user of libcurl or as a contributor to and hacker of libcurl, to skip over to the curl github home<\/a> and press the ‘watch’ button<\/strong> to get notified when future requests and issues appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
