6. Ruby Repository Moved to Git from Subversion

Ruby Repository Moved to Git from Subversion


  • Today, the canonical repository of the Ruby programming language was moved to Git from Subversion.

    The web interface for the new repository is https://git.ruby-lang.org, and is provided by cgit. We can keep the commit hash from the contributor on the Ruby repository directly.

    Development policy

    • We don’t use a topic branch on cgit.
    • The GitHub repository will still be just a mirror. We don’t use the “Merge pull request” feature.
    • The ruby_2_4, ruby_2_5, and ruby_2_6 branches will continue to use SVN. We don’t push anything to these branches on cgit.
    • Starting with ruby_2_7, we’ll use cgit to develop stable branches.
    • We don’t use merge commits.

    Enjoy!
