ErkanaAuth Now Hosted on Bitbucket
March 11th, 2010
As the entire CodeIgniter community runs over to Mercurial and Bitbucket, thanks to EllisLab’s huge announcement earlier today it seemed only fitting to get ErkanaAuth hosted over there as soon as possible.
Honestly, I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a lot of my open-source work for a long time; I just keep putting it off. I love the distributed environment for collaborating on projects like this, because you guys probably have a lot of great ideas for this library! Now, you can contribute as well!
Go ahead: check out the repository, fork it, make some changes and send me pull requests so I can look over them. You can check out my original post for my thoughts in where I see this library headed.

I still don’t understand why anyone would choose Mercurial over git. From an outside perspective, they seem like they do the exact same thing. I’m going to have to do some more in-depth research I guess.
With that said, I’m also saddened that bitbutcket offers a better “free” plan than GitHub. I don’t think one private repository is too much to ask GitHub.

The private repo on Bitbucket’s plan was the deciding factor between Mercurial over Git. Like you, I don’t know enough about either to make a real informed decision on which is better and why.
I think we both could just as easily have said, “I still don’t understand why anyone would choose Git over Mercurial.”

I’m glad to see you getting some of your code onto one of these social platforms Mike, good move.
Unlike a lot of the community I don’t see the point in madly rushing over to BitBucket from GitHub if you are already using one. I have been on GitHub so long that my projects have followers, loads of links, etc so moving would just screw things up.
Also, I like multiple remotes – it’s the main reason I picked Git. Plus the Git staging area is a massive winner as being able to pick specific files and even specific lines for a certain commit is amazingly useful.
Both systems seem great, but I’ll be sticking where I am for now.

@Phil
Don’t know why it took me so long to respond to your comment. Regardless, as you know, I was never on GitHub. My choice of BitBucket was purely based on “EllisLab is there and they give a free private repo.”
In the month since making the move – I am absolutely loving it, and even signed up for the $5 subscription so I could get 4 additional private repos.
