Hello Abdulrahman,

we have multiple active repositories on GH already that contain e.g. Galaxy tool wrappers (https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam) or software to help with Galaxy deployment (https://github.com/galaxyproject/usegalaxy-playbook).

Regarding our main development repository (currently at https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central ) the move to the GH _might_ happen sometimes this year and will be transparent for anybody deploying Galaxy (probably with https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist remaining as a maintaned mirror).

There is no deadline though as the percieved importance is not high.

For what it is worth... I perceive the importance as *VERY* high and I know other members of the community do as well :). I doubt there is any one step the devteam could take to encourage community contributions or foster openness that would have more impact than this.

Here is the Trello card to track progress and vote on:

Hi Galaxy people,

I had a chat with some of you in the last workshop in Switzerland, and I got information that you are planning to move to git.

Is this still the intention? If yes, then when should this happen?

Thank you,

Yours sincerely, Abdulrahman Azab
