You want Github with pull requests. That's the website's ideal workflow :)
Would be pretty cool if we could get gerrit, but I think pull requests
allows comments, so it's reviewed the same.

I don't see a problem with it then, you say incompatible public trees and I
call them forks. But the official one is github.com/harald/ethernut, no
question about it. You are our project manager, no running from it hehe.
Really, I can't think of any one project that doesn't have an official
repository.


AFAIK the only thing we are using from SF that github doesn't have is the
file release management.
We could keep SF account for that and move the rest to github.

Github has CI afaik.
