Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

Hey,

I like Broadleaf commerce and I'd like to use it and contribute to it if possible. For past years I've been contributing to many projects and I have to say that using Git for SCM and github.com makes it really easy for both contributors and committers.

With git and github.com the contribution process is quite easy. I would fork your branch off, create a branch for a new feature or bug fix, work on that for a while, then rebase what needed and sent a pull request to you (committers) that you could evaluate and commit, or we could discuss about that on github.

Doing this process with SVN on sourcefoge is terribly annoying (in comparison with git and gitbub) and it wastes time on both sides. Not talking about all those troubles I had with SVN ... that I would never want to have again.

Is there any chance that you would migrate to git / github eventually ? If I look at the technologies broadleaf is using (all perfect), the SVN choice for SCM is kinda surprising.

+1, I'm not a broadleaf user/developer yet, but currently evaluating it for a possible upcoming project, which will require a bit of customization. I'd also like the idea of using git/github for the mentioned reasons. Surely just a nice to have and not top priority, but after having switched from svn to git quite a while ago, I really appreciate it's benefits in it's ease of forking and rebasing.

Thank you guys for your comments.

We will be moving to GitHub with the 1.5 GA release within the next few weeks.

Great news!

This is done. You can now find us on GitHub. As part of this move, we've split out the Demo project from the Core Framework. This should facilitate forked demos and examples by the community.

If you're interested in a github feed you can subscribe to our development twitter account which will tweet the details of our commits whenever we make them:
