GitHub 推出 Package Registry

GitHub 推出了「GitHub Package Registry」,可以代管自己開發的軟體。

目前支援 npm (Node.js)、DockerMaven (Java)、NuGet (.NET)、RubyGems (Ruby) 五個平台,

隔壁 GitLab 說我們早就有了而氣噗噗中:「Packaging now standard, dependency proxy next?」。

Anyway,省下一些事情,以前會透過 CI/CD 丟到像是 packagecloud.io 這樣的服務上讓內部使用,現在看起來 GitHub 上面可以解決一些簡單的情境...

Square 放出的 git-fastclone

Square 放出 git-fastclone:「Introducing git fastclone」,會生出這個軟體的原因是 git clone 的速度太慢,對於 CI 的速度影響頗大:

Square uses git-fastclone as part of our iOS and hardware CI systems. Being able to quickly clone into an empty directory, saves us time and ensures we always know the starting state for our builds — no matter what has happened in previous builds. This in turn increases the reliability of the system overall and benefits our engineers.

Ruby 寫的,可以用 gem install git-fastclone 直接安裝起來。
