Re: [che-dev] Stale branches in che repos :: ACTION REQUIRED :: please take out your trash :D

@Anatolii Bazko if someone needs to work with someone else:  talk to each other, fork, add user/permission.
@Gennady Azarenkov it has been discussed during the last community call ... After 10 minutes debating, Mario, as project lead, asked for a survey/vote to decide what we do.
@all at some point we need to move forward, let's do like this, we have more important issues to work on.

@Mario Loriedo ok I can take the action item.... first see if I have permissions to do that :) will keep you posted.

I am not sure I understand what the survey result means for us...

Does this survey have the power to change anything at all?

Hello.

Sorry, but I am strongly against that.
It will bring complications when several developers work on the same issue.

Ok so it looks like we need to change our github repositories configurations. Sun do you want to take the action item?

I don't want to force you to do anything, I want to understand why you work that way. Maybe there is a cost to working in forks which I'm not seeing. It's an honest question.

If we are talking about me: at some point, I've switched my preferences to work with forks. 
However, I respect the rights of other contributors to work in a way that way want to work. 
Without asking why if we don't have a strong technical reason for that. 

Let me put this story from a different angle.
Is there a reason to keep branches of merged or closed PRs?
That really looks like garbage. Don't you think so?

What I didn't understand is why do you forcing someone to do things in the way you like to do without strong technical reasons?
Why we are ignoring diversity and pushing everybody to work in the way how the mainstream is doing?
Is there a technical reason why we should not allow some contributors to collaborate in the way how they used to do that for years?

I proposed to move this conversation in a less strict tone.
1. Propose the recommended way to do the contribution.
2. Propose the recommended way for branch names.
3. Encourage people to clean up after the work has been done.

What I don't understand in the whole discussion is why someone would object to working in their own fork. There is really not downside to it: if you want to start collaborating with someone else, you can just push the branch to the main repo. Otherwise the workflow is exactly the same as if you created your branch in the main repo. Can someone enlighten me?

OMG! Big +1 to this. I've been trying to convince people to start using forks and keep upstream "celan" for some time now...

yes please, do the work in personal fork is imho right way to go on github. I would even disable creating branches upstream so we don't have a mess like this and each `git fetch` downloads 10 new random branches.

I do my my work (unless I need to cooperate with others) on my personal fork of said projects. Is there any reason not to? Maybe we should adopt this as a good practice.

Just a reminder to committers that your merged PR branches and old topic branches from closed issues should be purged from the origin repo to keep it clean.

Please take a few minutes to delete your old branches. I've done so for che-plugin-reg and che-devfile-reg if the branch was marked merged, but there are many more.

https://github.com/eclipse/che/branches/stale for example has two pages of deletable topic/PR branches, including some pre-7.0 branches which we probably don't need anymore as we're never going to patch those releases.

etc.

Thanks!
