InfoQ: Eclipse on GitHub

InfoQ: Eclipse on GitHub

First Haskell, and now Eclipse moves to GitHub. Only true Git repositories are being mirrored to GitHub, but there's more than 70 repositories already created at the Eclipse Foundation page on GitHub. With EGit 0.11 being released as part of 3.6.2 and aiming for a 1.0 release in Eclipse 3.7, there's more demand than ever to move to Git for Eclipse projects. As Chris Aniszczyk announced:

I'm happy to announce we finally setup mirroring of eclipse.org repositories on GitHub.

I think this is an important step to making the eclipse.org codebase more accessible for people to fork and contribute changes. If you’re an eclipse.org project accepting changes from someone on GitHub, please check the official policy on handling Git contributions.
