tags on github
Hello,
I just noticed the Official textpattern mirror on github does not have tags after 4.4.1.
Is this deliberate?

Re: tags on github
This is not deliberate. It looks like either the previous mirror maintainers tagged these manually, or Github applies some kind of commit message parsing magic.

Tags are manual. Someone that has commit rights to the repository would have to add them.
One thing to note is that the git repository only mirrors 4.x branch the SVN. As such it’s incomplete. It literally misses commits that would be needed to mark the releases. 4.5.x releases do not exists at all or any of the after-branch changes. The current tags tag the commit after the release, which is usually that dev is now x.

Re: tags on github
The original idea behind the mirror was to foster contribution by giving developers the opportunity to clone the master branch and send pull requests. The repo contents probably serves this purpose good enough.
Does anyone use the mirror for something which would benefit from having the other branches and tags, e.g. deployments?

Re: tags on github
I did*. But after joining the dark side I’ve been using good old SVN for Textpattern.
I’ve gotten back to the habit of starting each day by praying SVN gods for letting the repository live for one more day. Something you don’t have to do with git.
*would really-really had if it had the same sources. I never based any contributing to the git clone, but some deploying.

LOL. Here’s for comparison my hourly prayer:

Re: tags on github
I was thinking about using a git clone as a resource from which I could just checkout a tag and copy that to my local webserver.
I could just learn svn to do that.
But when I ever release a public plugin, the source will reside on github (where there already is a wealth of sometimes very well documented textpattern content (from which I’m learning a lot, thank you Jukka :) ).
