hello dart-users,<br>
<br>
this is an early notice that the dart code repository will be
migrating <br>
from 'subversion' to 'git' at the end of this summer. support for
our<br>
NCAR subversion server is being withdrawn as of Oct 1, 2016, so
we'll<br>
be migrating our code to the GitHub service sometime in august or<br>
september.<br>
<br>
we will post many other notices as the time gets closer, including
more<br>
'getting started' information for folks new to git (which includes
much <br>
of the dart development team). for our users who only interact with<br>
the version control system to check out the code and get updates
there<br>
should not be too much of learning curve. a short (but different)
set of <br>
commands will get you a copy of the code just like before.<br>
<br>
for folks who develop new features and want to contribute them back<br>
to our repository there will be a bit more of a learning curve.
there<br>
are many online tutorials available since git is so widely used.<br>
<br>
one set of tutorials can be found here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/">https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/</a><br>
<br>
this set of interactive tutorials is from github itself:<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://try.github.io/">https://try.github.io/</a><br>
<br>
there is an extensive set of video tutorials from an ncar class
here:<br>

<br>
much more information will be forthcoming over the summer as the<br>
migration date gets closer. it's been about 10 years since we
migrated<br>
our repository from CVS to SVN, so it seem inevitable that we'd be
due<br>
for another progression in our development tools. thanks for your<br>
patience as we make the transition.<br>
