| # Lightweight Forks |
| |
| Git supports the concept of alternate object databases. Compared to other |
| products, Gerrit currently does not offer users to fork a repository. |
| |
| The use cases for forks could be manifold: From personal workspaces to |
| eventually supporting pull requests. More generally: A place where one |
| can use all of the upstream data, yet, doesn't pollute the upstream repo |
| with unfinished work. |
| |
| In this lightning talk I'll go over some CUJs and talk about technical |
| background. |
