This is something I’ve had to checkup a few times so I figured it would be useful both for myself and for others to keep around in a blog post.
To remove a remote branch you created in Git just push to it like:
$ git push origin :name-of-branch
Stumbled over the site GitCasts which publishes regular screencasts about using Git. Should be worth a look for anyone who which to learn more about Git.
Stumbled over a new service called Github a while back when listening to a Ruby on Rails Podcast. Having used Git for the past year or so I was excited to see this service as it seemed to be a great solution to one of my biggest problems with decentralized version control systems, overview of what cool things people around me hack on.
In short Github is a Git hosting service with a web front end for tracking, forking and posting pull requests. It gives you a great overview of who forked your repository and what they are hacking on.
With the Loudmouth 1.3 branch development spread out on three different developers where I often forget to check out what the others are up to I figured this might be a good solution and requested a beta account there.
So far I’m really happy with it and it is also a great fun way of tracking other repositories I’m not working on, something like this for GNOME would be awesome.
To keep track of my Loudmouth hacking, just subscribe to the RSS feed or check out my Loudmouth repository.
If you want to help out hacking on Loudmouth, just drop me an email for an invite.
After that it’s just fork and hack away!
