The title is a little facetious but I do think Github collaberation is not being taken advantage of in the ColdFusion community. Sure some CFML-ers like Mark Mandel , Luis Majano , and Marc Esher are using github. ColdFusion projects like ValidateThis , FW1 , and MuraCMS are on it. ColdFusion Koans...

My company recently hired another developer. It was the first time I was involved in the hiring process. We hired a recent college graduate with no CFML experience and slight PHP. The grad did seem somewhat strong with HTML, SQL, and CSS. Javascript was slight and jQuery non-existant. I'll be doing...

I blogged about " Git Performance Commands " before. Basically these commands are spring cleaning for your git repository. I run them occasionally at work. I love chaining git commands together so here are the commands chained. git fsck --unreachable && git reflog expire --expire=0 --all && git...

Ryan Stille and Mike Henke talk about HackMyCF giveaway, FarCry, Evolving Skills and John Madden. See Show Page for Epoisode 4 more information

The JGit project from Eclipse has been working on Eclipse and Git integration. Their user guide mentions an ant task but doesn't show where to download the needed jars. If you knew a little java, you could grab the source and compile a couple from jgit's github account . I googled around and found...

In the first post of "So you want to contribute to CFWheels" , we created a free Github account and forked the CFWheels repo . This gave us our own repo we can change. We added a readme file, then sent a pull request to CFWheels . In this post, we will cover how to help CFWheels by contributing...

In my git bash, I drop the bat and the run the batch. git fsck --unreachable git reflog expire --expire=0 --all git repack -a -d -l git prune git gc --aggressive Here is a brief discription...

Jamie used Ubuntu, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Apache, Tomcat, OpenBD / Railo , CFEclipse , and Git . He mentioned you could use any OS like Windows or...

Two weeks since the last ColdFusion & Github . I will start with what I missed. A Mango Blog plugin for gists was announced Aug. 16th. You may be wondering what the heck are GISTS? Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are...

I received an email about switching to git and local development. Mallory was gracious enough to give me permission to post the original email and my response. I hope this helps other looking to move to git along with local development. ------------------------------------------------ Your Name:...

Two ColdFusion & Github Weekly updates in a row! Where to start? Well, CFMeetup: GIT for Dummies and the slightly more enlightened by Tim Cunningham is a great place. It was recorded yesterday. I didn't attend but will watch it this weekend. Railo announced they are doing their nightly builds and...

It has been over a busy month since the last ColdFusion and Github update. A lot has transpired. CFUnited's keynote by Adam Lehman and Terry Ryan , highlighted Github adding ColdFusion as a language for one of the numerous ColdFusion highlights over the last year. Terry demo-ed and announced...

This week in ColdFusion and Github news: Github is asking for input from users using windows . It is a short survey. There is an online upcoming event July 13th, covering egit and Eclipse . This would also pertain to users of CFBuilder and CFEclipse naturally. Mr. Corfield mentions adopting a...

First ColdFusion & Github update in a while, I was fishing last week in Northern Minnesota so missed two Fridays. Github now has the concept of organizations to simplify management of group-owned repositories. Github would like feedback from Windows users . Next week, July 13, 2010, there will be...

This is more for my notes but here is my Git User Config Cheatsheet for setting up a new computer with git.

Being the end of the month, I'll also mention monthly updates of ColdFusion on Github besides weekly updates. Some blog posts are about git and coldfusion this past week are:

ColdFusion is hanging steady at the 29th most popular language on Github . Big news on the ColdFusion/Github front is FW/1 . I didn't catch an official announcement but it seems FW/1 is using github for their central code repository/site. Github's ticket system is setup and allowing people to...

ColdFusion dropped several spots to 30 for Github Language popularity. DZone released a very well done Refcardz title " Getting Started with Git ". Github celebrated it's 2nd Birthday . I attended a Github East Cost Tour gathering if one is in your area I recommend swinging by for a few drinks. I...

ColdFusion moved up another spot in the Github Language popularity to 29th. I am hoping the momentum keeps up. Github announced it has a commit about every second compared to Google Code which has a commit about every 5 seconds. No forking again for ColdFusion. This maybe the CF Community still...

Slow week for forking ColdFuson projects on Github but ColdFusion moved up one slot making it the #30 most popular language on GitHub. I also decided to keep the update on Friday.....

I will be switching the Github & ColdFusion Weekly Update to Sunday so I don't miss any activity during the weekend. Some noteworthy events: Terrence Ryan , Platform Evangelist for Adobe, opened a Github account and has been very busy starting four repositories. Bill Shelton created a respotiory...

I have been touting Github for ColdFusion open source projects. I have a great example of why. Bob Silverberg has been working on ValidateThis for Wheels. This consists of two projects, the ValidateThis framework and a ValidateThis Wheels plugin . He forked my repository of the plugin and made a...

I started a Head First ColdFusion book to submit to Head First . If anyone is interested in contributing, it is using markdown and on GitHub . The idea is based on the Pro Git book using the same technique .

This is a 4 part series over Git and GitHub with Riaforge . So far we installed some software , registered for a free GitHub account, created a repository, and cloned it . Lets demonstrate the power of GitHub, anyone can make contributes to a project on GitHub. We will be using CWheels on GitHub to...

There is an interesting thread going on with the CFWheels google group over switching to git . Does it really matter to community members what source control the project is using? Subversion is locked down to only committers who have access, so any community changes come via patches. Maybe using...

This is a series over using Riaforge with Git and GitHub . So far we installed some software , next we will register for a free GitHub, create a repository, and clone it. Registering will only take a couple seconds. Go to the signup page . Fill out the information but skip the SSH Public Key field....

I will show how to switch a Riaforge project using SVN to use Git and Github . Git is more geared for open source projects since it easily allows contributes from anyone. A hierarchy might eventually evolve where the project owner watches four of his trusted friends, then those four might watch a...

I really enjoy ColdFusion but I am frustrated seeing tools in other programming languages like metric testing ( NDepend ), code coverage ( Emma ), and coding standards ( Checkstyle ). None of these tools are new. They are immensely helpful, but not really available in CFML . That being said, I feel...
