Does anyone know what code review system they are using with github?

I'm curious what Gerrit gets them that Github doesn't have natively, too.

GitHub has the network effect of so many existing repos, but I personally think the issues & code review tools are mediocre at best.

I think you mean s/ignorance/rejection/.

Probably a combination of both really. I get the sense that the 'Commander' hasn't done the requisite reading.

Anyone that knows Rob will tell you that you're simply wrong about this.

When people disagree with you, that does not mean they are ignorant.

This is a huge compliment to GitHub, for Google to be moving one of its premier open source projects off of Google Code and onto GitHub. More importantly, though, this is a significant compliment to the Go community, for Go to uproot itself and move to where the majority of its users are.

They moved many of their popular Java projects recently: guava, guice, closure tools, gson.

It is great to see so many projects moving to git and GitHub in particular. GitHub is incredibly helpful for quickly taking a look at a project and figuring out what areas of a project are still evolving and being actively developed.

Moving to git is great, moving to github can be terrible for some projects that are more collaborative, as if you want to change someones PR you cannot..

"We will use a Google-hosted instance of Gerrit for code reviews."

thank you. Missed that in the article (was skimming >_> )

Me too, my brain is wired to read Gerrit as a common Dutch first name, so I thought he was talking about a person named Gerrit.

To the siblings to this post: it seems rather unlikely as the research is being generated at a rate that far exceeds any one person's ability to read it (especially when they are already busy marrying C and CSP [which is easy to build as a library or add-on to any other existing language] & type theory isn't their specialty).

So, you're criticising someone for not doing something that's impossible? Just stop.
