Hi everyone, I have a bit of a dvcs design question: I have a project that I am hosting on github. I also have several plugins that I have written for the project, but that I don't want to include in the core code, because they are optional plugins. In svn, I just created an additional dir that contained all of the plugins. Users could...

Has anyone seen an open-source library that produces charts similar to Github.com's commit timeline charts? Check out this profile (picked one at random) and note the bar graphs below each project.

Hi, I have a git repository (at github.com) with two branches: master and gh-pages. I would like to have the gh-pages branch in a subdirectory, so that I don't need to switch branches every time. repo/ (content of the master branch) gh-pages/ (content of the gh-pages branch) Is that possible ? ...
I have an open source'd website. Some content is "private" such as connection parameters, as well as files that the open source version doesn't need (eg. advertising templates).

I'm not sure if this is the best idea (or the best approach), but ...

I learned of gist.github.com from Mozilla Ubiquity, and have been using it to post small stuff I've written, and to keep it updated in a public place, with version control so no information is lost.
