Today, the canonical repository of the Ruby programming language was moved to Git from Subversion.

The web interface for the new repository is [https://git.ruby-lang.org](https://git.ruby-lang.org), and is provided by cgit. We can keep the commit hash from the contributor on the Ruby repository directly.

@hsbt 2nd paragraph is still very cryptic. Do you mean something like „Contributers to the SVN repository will also get commit right for the new repository.“ ???

I don't get this, too. "Keep something from somebody" is to avoid telling somebody something. But as I read, the meaning of the sentence is more like "We can show the commit hash made by the contributor on the Ruby repository directly."

I doubt the Git commit hash is what is meant. I would rather think „commit bit“ or „commit access“.


## Development policy

* We don't use a topic branch on cgit.
* The GitHub repository will still be just a mirror. We don't use the "Merge pull request" feature.
* The ruby_2_4, ruby_2_5, and ruby_2_6 branches will continue to use SVN. We don't push anything to these branches on cgit.
* Starting with ruby_2_7, we'll use cgit to develop stable branches.
* We don't use merge commits.

## Special Thanks

* k0kubun

k0kubun aggressively develops toolchains related to release and backport workflows and also updates the hook script for git.

* naruse

naruse updates the feature changes for Ruby CI and Redmine (bugs.ruby-lang.org).

* mame

mame creates the commit notification script for slack.

## Future Work

We still have to complete some tasks. If you find an issue related to the Git migration, please file it to [https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14632](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14632).

Enjoy!
