Christoph\n<a href=\"http://www.steinbeck-molecular.de/steinblog/index.php/2008/08/26/linus-on-git-on-google-techtalks/\">wondered</a> if we should switch CDK\nfrom SVN to Git. A few developers objected, for various reasons: no native Windows clients (though <a href=\"http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/\">msysgit</a>\nmight be the solution), no (stable) plugins for Eclipse, IDEA(?), etc.</p>\n\n<p>I <a href=\"https://chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.info/2008/09/07/cdk-development-with-branches-using-git.html\">made the switch <i class=\"fa-solid fa-recycle fa-xs\"></i></a>, and really happy about it.</p>\n\n<p>Anyway, one issue for me not to switch the full CDK project would be to have a central place where we could host our Git repository. Now,\nGitHub does just that, and after inquiring with them about the 100MB limit, <a href=\"http://github.com/mojombo\">Tom</a> emailed me:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Hi Egon,</p>\n\n  <p>We’d love to have your open source project on GitHub. The 100MB is currently a soft limit, so you won’t have any problems uploading\na larger repo. We hope you enjoy GitHub!</p>\n\n  <p>Tom Preston-Werner <br />\ngithub.com/mojombo</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>So, I created an <a href=\"http://github.com/egonw\">account</a> (I’m happy there are so few <em>Egon</em>’s in the world :), and\n<a href=\"http://github.com/egonw/cdk/tree/master\">uploaded the CDK 1.2 branch</a>, which, for now at least, will serve as mirror only, while\nSVN will be the primary repository.</p>\n\n<p>You can easily check it out with:</p>\n\n<div class=\"language-shell highlighter-rouge\"><div class=\"highlight\"><pre class=\"highlight\"><code><span class=\"nv\">$ </span>git clone git://github.com/egonw/cdk.git\n</code></pre></div></div>\n\n<p>I am not sure how you can email me your patches, but I know it is possible and report on this later. This mirror is important to those who want to play with Git, as one no longer requires git-svn, dropping one dependency.</p>\n\n<p>Now, it does provide some extra payload on my side, as I need to keep cdk SVN repository (or, better, my git-svn copy of it) synchronized with the git repository, but this turned out to be fairly easy:</p>\n\n<div class=\"language-shell highlighter-rouge\"><div class=\"highlight\"><pre class=\"highlight\"><code><span class=\"nv\">$ </span><span class=\"nb\">cd </span>GitHub/cdk\n<span class=\"nv\">$ </span>git pull ../../SourceForge/git-svn/cdk my-local-1.2\n<span class=\"nv\">$ </span>git push\n</code></pre></div></div>\n\n<p>So, does this mean no goodies for people who stick to SVN? No, there are some, like this\n<a href=\"http://github.com/egonw/cdk/graphs/punch_card\">PunchCard</a>:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"/assets/images/punchCard.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>",
