TBA on Github

As The Blue Alliance moves forward with TBAv4, we have decided to do our development out of a public source code repository. You can check out the current version of the TBAv4 source on the Github page for The Blue Alliance.

The way Github works, you can pull down a copy of the code, and send back patches to be integrated with the master copy. For more information about Git and Github, visit Github’s help page.

Basically, there are a few goals for this initiative:

  • Let anyone who wants to see the entire guts of a web site. Most of us behind TBA developed our interest in web development in high school, and we hope other people can be inspired to poke and tinker.
  • Let other people contibute code, since we don’t have infinite resources to make everything as awesome as it could be.

There’s not much there yet, but development will continue over the coming months until Kickoff!
