Ruby scripting repository hosting?

gistman

Hello-

My friend (computer nerd) has been encouraging me to learn ruby- He knows it and well lots of other code things as well. I have told him about SketchUp and all the things ruby can make it do... So, I noticed the other day there was a sticky warning people to cross-reference their scripting ventures before going on making them public. Also the reformatting of the Google group which I never could bring myself to visit... There might be a way to keep the ruby scripting more organized.

Ok- here's the point- Does anyone know about http://github.com/plans ? Not that I really do, but after doing some research (having my computer nerd friend walk me through it )- it seems like this would be a fantastic way to develop,to share and keep track of script development and possibly promote SU to non-SU'ers. He (my computer nerd friend) uses it to develop code for work and well for fun.

"What is it? Not only is Git the new hotness, it's a fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software. GitHub is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate in that collaboration: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease. "

The link I provided is the link to the "plans" which if you notice at the top, it's free... If you look around they have a repository and other sections...

Sorry if I don't know enough about the site or ruby scripting to be fully accurate. I would like to thank anyone who has taken the time to develop and or write any ruby plug-ins and when I say "computer nerd" I mean that in the most endearing way.

Maybe this can be asset to the way ruby scripts are written?

yeah, github is really a nice place for working on a project that is open source (you can have private projects as well).
I don't use it for SU Ruby scripts (use smustard.com for it) but I use for other projects and it is really nice.

there is also http://gist.github.com/ that you can use for snippets of code that are version controlled
