Version control system ideal for the collaborative bioinformatics software development
The new hotness, fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software...
Github, a source code management (SCM) repository based on git has exited beta and is ready for people to sign up. Git and github offer interesting opportunities for bioinformatics software development, and I think it’s worth taking a few minutes to explore them.

Github builds on git and takes the easy branching feature a step further to create a social software site. I know everyone and their dog is creating a social [insert verb]ing application/site, but you might find that that github’s approach can make a difference in your approach to software development. Github makes it possible to see who is creating branches of your project, visualised as a network, where branch and merge points are shown in a timeline.
