The Ruby programming language, unofficial mirror.

Q&A

Q. Why another Ruby mirror? There is already rubyspec/matzruby

A. Well, the main problem (for me) with rubyspec/matzruby is that it’s a read-only repository (and I’m a committer). When I want to use git to develop Ruby I have to make another mirror for me.

Another big reason for this repo for you is that when you fork this project, you can pull-request. I can commit to the Ruby’s main repository. See NonCommitterHowto.

Q. Is this mirror out of date?

A. Mainly due to ssh key passphrase, I have not made it fully automated to update the mirror. I’m updating it quite often, but may have delay.

Q. I’m a committer and I want to commit to the Ruby’s canonical repository, not by sending pull requests. Can I?

A. Yes. You can do a git svn dcommit, but you need a few more steps to do before you can trigger that. See CommitterHowto.
