GitHub
Is it OK to edit for style on an open source project?Recently I came across a number of open source Ruby (or at least the majority of it was Ruby) projects on GitHub that, when checked with a code analyzing tool like Rubocop, create a lot of offences.Quarterly Language Performance on GitHub 2011 – 2013Github brews text editor for developersGithub has released a beta of what it says is “ the text editor we’ve always wanted.”Atom, for that is the software’s name, is billed as “modern, approachable, and hackable to the core” and also “welcoming to an elementary school student on their first day learning to code, but also a tool they won’t outgrow as they develop into seasoned hackers.”
Misc.
With greater permissions, comes greater responsibilityI came to work with open source after an experience in college. We used a system called Usenet,a world wide distributed discussion forum. At the university, there wasn’t an email client I liked, so I wrote one and just gave it (including the source code) to whoever wanted it. This experience introduced me to a community of people who made things and shared them; it also introduced me to a job at my alma mater as a Usenet administrator.
