I'm using a library from a Github project. Is there some way to set up a notification for new project releases?
For example, I want to know when a new release appears here
I know I can be notified on every issue update, but that's not what I'm looking for. Though I see some projects are using that as a way to keep people notified
Don't know about email, but you can subscribe to RSS Atom feed with releases:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js/releases.atom
or tags:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-js/tags.atom
EDIT:
To get notification via email you can use Sibbell.com or RSS-to-email service like Blogtrottr.
Github
Github now allows it natively
Go to a project page and click Watch button in the top right corner. There's a Custom option where you can toggle Releases.
NewReleases.io
https://newreleases.io/
This app sends you emails and also can slack into specified channel.
GitPunch.com
https://gitpunch.com/
You pick a repository/ies:
Then setup your notification preferences:
[![enter image description here][4]][4]
Notifications start coming to your email
Another option is to sign up for auto notifications via:
https://newreleases.io/ (thx)
https://release-notifier.com
https://libraries.io
https://gitpunch.com (currently not sending emails)
https://coderelease.io (currently not sending emails)
https://releases.netlify.com (does not send emails)
Setup a job to call a webhook:
https://github.com/justwatchcom/github-releases-notifier
https://github.com/femtopixel/github-release-notifier
Or if you would like to get a notification when the atom feed is updated, you can use these (in addition to the ones indicated by Mikalai): https://www.softfluent.com/blog/dev/Be-notified-when-a-new-release-is-created-in-a-GitHub-repository
I made a Ver.bot, which can send GitHub projects notifications about new version release. Besides GitHub projects, you can also subscribe npm, PyPI projects. The bot is currently on Slack, Telegram and Skype.
I recommend using rss2email. You can set it up and run it on every OS with python installed.
Touchpine monitors open source projects and will notify you when there are new releases. If the project you want to follow isn't already monitored, you can request it be added.
https://touchpine.com
I know this thread is very old but I found this:
http://coderelease.io
I'm a little late to the party I know, but Axibase has a nice little tool to leverage GitHub's webhook functionality to notify you via some third-party messenger service (or email if you so choose) whenever someone creates a new project in one of your repositories.
The workflow above describes the underlying process, and this guide will walk you through the set-up step by step. The entire process takes around 10 minutes to complete.
Disclaimer: I've worked for the team that developed ATSD, which is the database used for these notifications.

I am trying to create a book on Github and honestly I don't have the time to learn how to code and dig into all the new terminology/technology and learn the in and outs of Github as it's really not user-friendly.
All the tutorials are too dense and not suited for beginners. I just want to generate content for my book. How can I do this? I'm pretty good at just taking a template and adapting it to my needs, but I can't even get a template to work.
I've installed the bookdown package in R and have opened up the sample book in R. How do I get this sample book onto Github website? I just uploaded all the files and when I go to my website, it just takes me to README.md
I am using Github through my browser and don't plan on installing whatever Github software there is and all that kind of stuff. I really don't have time to dig into how to use Github. So any tutorial will require me using Github through the browser.
When writing content for my book, is there a way to do it on the Github, or is doing it in Rstudio the easiest way?
I don't have much desire to upload my book to bookdown.org. Can I still build my website on github?
Do I need to convert Rmd files to md files? How do I do that?
There are plenty of books out there on Github (bookdown.org show cases many). I believe you are able to view the files/code and what not on Github, so it may be pretty easy to just grab a couple necessary files there. I don't know which ones are important, and even if I did, I don't know how to get it to work with my Github.
You can fork the rstudio/bookdown-demo and make it your own GitHub repository.
From there, follow yihui/bookdown/get-started.html, with, at a minimum:
Download the GitHub repository https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown-demo as a Zip file, then unzip it locally.
So no need for "Git/GitHub software" there.
Install the RStudio IDE. Note that you need a version higher than 1.0.0. Please download the latest version if your RStudio version is lower than 1.0.0.
Install the R package bookdown:
# stable version on CRAN
install.packages('bookdown')
# or development version on GitHub
# devtools::install_github('rstudio/bookdown')
Open the bookdown-demo repository you downloaded in RStudio by clicking bookdown-demo.Rproj.
Open the R Markdown file index.Rmd and click the button Build Book on the Build tab of RStudio.
Try that with a minimal example like yihui/bookdown-minimal

GitHub is a great place to share accomplished projects for veterans. It is also a good place for beginners to show their baby steps learning a new language. I am learning Java by debugging someones' else final code in tutorials. For instance, bot's logic in tic-tac-toe (original code is posted in GitHub) or a calc that displays "6.0-" instead of "-6" or crashes after a sequence "0/0=" instead of showing "NaN" (original code is posted in a blog only). Some day I will contribute to comunity, but for now the goal is to make it easier for the employer to evaluate my skills.
I want to gather my work in one place and give a credit to actual authors of the program. I considered using
//Corrections to bot's logic. Handling forks. Stepan's code
But that doesn't feel right. How should I proceed when authors post their stub on GitHub or elsewhere?
Thanks in advance,
Stepan
You can submit a pull request and make your contribution to the project. Once you push it with a commit mentioning the changes you have made, the original repository owner can decide whether or not to merge the branch you have created.
From [docs],
Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a
repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is sent, interested parties
can review the set of changes, discuss potential modifications, and
even push follow-up commits if necessary.
This discussion suggests that:
(1) If the original author didn't post his code on GitHub, than just post it on your page. Give a credit to the original author by saying where the program comes from and placing comments like
//Fixing [description of] problem (your nickname)
to indicate your contributions
(2) If the project comes from GitHub try to push changes first. If it didn't work in a reasonable time - fork it. You will have your own source code with smart bots and exception handling.

Google Maps v2 is being retired, so I need to audit all our private repositories on Github for uses of it. I could clone them all down and run a grep, but there are a lot (mid 3 figures) so I’d rather do everything on the server if possible. Unfortunately Github’s search will only search public projects (as far as I can see), and I can’t see anything in the API to do what I want.
Any ideas?
Note that there already is a feature to grep code from private GitHub repos:
However, it has no API, so you'd need to do some good old scraping of links with the format:
https://github.com/creaktive/WUB/search?q=BEGIN&choice=code&l=&start=
To walk multiple repos, you could use iMacros for Chrome/Firefox, WWW::Mechanize if you're up to some Perl-fu, or PhantomJS if you're a JavaScript ninja.
If you know you're looking for patterns that are more or less consistent you can use the Github API to grep only the files that might be of interest to you.
For instance, you can get the contents of a file via the API: http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-contents
However, this assumes you know what files you've got (works well for Gemfile in Ruby, or requirements.txt in Python, not so great for Javascript).
The other option is to automate the search of the repos locally. It would be perfectly possible to write a script to git clone each repo in turn, grep it, and output the results (assuming you've got the time required for this to run, and the disk space).
I have seen a previous use of OpenGrok and typically has usecases such as yours.

Is Google code similar to Github where you can put your source code for collaboration?
Which is the de-facto SCM it's using?
And which one is recommended for project hosting?
Update 2013:
All major repo hosting services supports git, and supports smart https access (see below):
code.google.com (with cases like this one, July 2011)
bitbucket.org
tfs.visualstudio.com (!, as explained by Scott Hanselman)
Currently (July 2013), the main difference (between GitHub and other services) is in term of release management, more specifically:
integration with Travis CI (continuous integration, possible more or less with all services)
release artifacts: See "GitHub Release Your Software (July, 2d 2013)":
The ability to associate to a tag up to 100MB of binaries.
Initial answer (September 2010)
One big difference is the support by GitHub for smart http, as explained in the ProGit "smart http" section, supported since April 2010.
Being behind a firewall at work, that is more than useful to actually push anything to the remote repo!
I don't think "Google Code" support it officially, even though some contributors try to push that feature.
Yes, they are similar but support different versioning systems. Also the collaboration style is different. While Github (and Launchpad and BitBucket and all the other DVCS hosters) focus more on active collaboration between forked projects, Google Code's primary way of collaboration is through tickets.
So none of them is per-se better than the other, but perhaps fits your project management and contribution/collaboration style better. The whole debate between centralized and decentralized code versioning systems is related to that.
Some features that you should consider:
Open source:
Google: Always open source.
Git: Open source for free account, but you can pay to switch to close source.
VCS: Both google & github support Git (and others)
Wiki: Google wiki is poorly supported, unless you love to write with wiki tags. You can find many project in Google project hosting has there wiki in Git hub.
Statitstics: Github provides many nice statistics chart, while Google provides only a list of updates
Git:
Google:
AFAIK Google code is yet to support git natively. At least as far as I can tell by the comments on the ticket open for this.
So if you are using or would like to use Git then Github will be naturally more suitable.
On the other hand if you are using SVN and would like to continue to then Google code might be a more natural fit.
I have found Github projects easier to set up and get going but that is fairly subjective. Some of my friends also claim that Github's support/ecosystem is better than Google's.
Use GitHub. GitHub gives each account its own namespace for project names, so you don't have to worry about your project names having already been taken by people's projects. If you're using Google Code, however, then you do have to worry about this.
If you need private repos, you won't get that with Google Code. At least not yet; see this open issue: http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=1829

Does anybody know of an plugin that can be used to integrate Jira with TFS?
See Combining TFS with Jira - any experiences or advice?
The options are as follows:
TFS4JIRA (commercial / free for personal & non profit use)
UseTFS (commercial / free for community and open-source projects)
Atlassian Connector for Visual Studio (free)
Disclosure: I work for the UseTFS vendor Pigsty.
Apparently it's not a huge priority for Atlassian:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-1950
I've succeeded to integrate TFS and Atlassian Fisheye / Crucible through SvnBridge. It works like a charm. There are couple of additional steps:
You should implement patch 8517 (http://svnbridge.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/patches) and build SvnBridge with it;
You should change SVNKit version in FishEye. FishEye uses 1.3.3 version of SVNKit which doesn't work with SvnBridge (there are some PROPFIND errors). You should download 1.3.7 version from http://svnkit.com/ and put it into FishEye.
After that everything should work.
There is one more optional patch for SvnBridge which prevents some error logs on server.
But eventually everything works perfect!
You can contact me for binaries and instructions...
I looked for something like this a while ago and couldn't find anything. I also talked to Atlassian developers directly and they didn't know of nothing that could help either.
That said, I ended up writing a custom integration piece for my customer to create TFS items from Jira items and then have the TFS status updates reflected back into Jira. It took just over a day to build so it's fairly straight forward to do assuming you know a bit of Java and both the Jira API (I used the XMLRPC interface) and TFS API's. Due to the way both systems work it required building a small middleware piece to listen for events from TFS and also to act as a REST end point for a custom action in Jira to call when the user clicked a "send to TFS" button.
Apart from that it was a case of adding some custom fields to the work item definitions on both sides to hold the cross reference values and then doing the mapping of values from one item to the other.
Unfortunately I don't have the code to share since it's on the customer site, otherwise I'd throw what I have up on a gist for you to look at. Sorry.
You can use SVN Bridge to provide an SVN interface over your TFS installation. Then set up Jira / FishEye as if it was an SVN repository.
You could use the TFS Integration Platform. However there is no adapter for JIRA yet, however using the TFS Integration Platform (and I assume a good easy API JIRA has) means it shouldn't be too hard to do.
I created a project a while back on this topic which may come handy for you.
It's released on github. feel free to branch it and make changes.
