Github has the ability to post updates to FriendFeed when you make a commit to a repo. I just committed to a sandbox repo. Let's see how long it will take for the auto-post shows up.

RSS, you meant Jason? Yes, it does this. I have some in my feed.

No, there's a place you can setup service hooks. There's specifically one for sending notifications to FF when you push to your repo. It's a push notification, not a pull like RSS would be.

Ah! Hooks!

Hmmm, github has been disappointing when it comes to these notifications, the activity graphs, etc. The service is nice in other ways, but they really need to get their act together.

*sigh* service hooks are crap on github. They don't work as advertised.
- Jason Huebel
Can you be more specific about what isn't working?
- PJ Hyett
I setup my sandbox repo (http://github.com/jhuebel...) to post to FriendFeed when I pushed changes to it. Nothing showed up on FriendFeed when I pushed my first commit.
- Jason Huebel
Looks like my second commit posted a notice to FF properly.

PJ, what are the blockers that prevent github from posting to my feed? Is it just that it was the initial commit? Or is something else going on?

- PJ Hyett
Cool. That's easy enough to live with. :-)

Good article. I honestly had no idea GitHub was a proprietary service. Makes my choice of source repos MUCH easier...git.kenzoid.com is now on the task list. Why on earth would I stick proprietary centralized server on top of a distributed version control system?? I'll run my own, stick a copy in S3 or something as well, and maybe talk someone into holding a copy of my source, while I hold a copy of theirs!

Ken, because GitHub layers useful functionality on top of Git, it doesn't remove any, nor disturbs the distributed nature of the SCM. You can treat GitHub simply as a node of your distributed graph. GitHub also isn't completely closed source, things such as our service hooks, rubygem builder, and the Grit (Ruby Git) library that powers the entire site are all open source. At the end of...

Point taken, PJ. I added git to my revision control toolkit fairly recently (coming from cvs, svn, a short stop at arch, and mercurial (which I still use as well)); I haven't paid that close attention to GitHub other than to note it exists and gets a lot of buzz. I will dig in more deeply and review your offerings (I certainly grok the fact that it's only a node in the graph, but good...

"khu19, I'd love to, but unfortunately 50% of my site's visitors use it, so I have no choice but to make sure it works for them as well. As for the rest of you, of course this isn't news, this has been a problem for years and that's why it's worth commenting about."
