Git now includes a GitHub Actions workflow which you can use to run Git’s own integration tests on a variety of platforms and compilers. There’s no extra effort required on your part: if you have a fork of git/git on GitHub, each push will be run through the array of tests necessary to validate your change.But wait: doesn’t Git use a mailing list for development? Yes, it does, but now you can use GitGitGadget on the git/git repository. This means that you can open a pull request, and have GitGitGadget send it to the mailing list on your behalf. So, if you’re more comfortable contributing to Git like that instead of composing emails manually, you can now contribute to Git from start to finish using GitHub.
Nice to see efforts to reduce barriers to contributing.
