UFIT Proposed Service: GitHUB

I know we have a number of GIT installations around the College.  If campus was to set one up centrally and open it up to all of UF (for no charge backs) for your use would you use it for your projects?  There’s a bigger question here:

  • If you run your own, would you transition/migrate to a UFIT GitHUB installation?
  • If you don’t currently run GitHUB (but some other version control / source code management system), would you switch to UFIT GitHUB install?
  • What would be your barriers to entry of a UFIT GitHUB install?

Does this interest any of you at all? If not interested, and you run a local install of GIT, why not?

I believe this will be an open topic of conversation at the next IT@UF meeting.  Would you be willing/wanting to attend to add your perspective to this project?
