The project is aimed at making it possible for Smalltalkers to use git/svn/mercurial for project/source version control. There is special emphasis on git and github because github provides distributed repositories and and number of very useful features that enhance the development process.

I started this project when I recently realized that it wasn't as hard to do this as I had thought in the past...

Right now the project is based on Metacello, where I am adding a scripting API to Metacello, like Gofer, but aimed at project level operations not package level operations.

Here's a list of sample Metacello scripting API expressions [1].

Here's the directory structure that I'm proposing to be used for Smalltalk projects[2].

Philippe,

You are not a party pooper ... these are exactly the kinds of questions I'm looking for They are excellent questions.

"cd to a likely spot on disk and run the following at a shell prompt (after installing git):

  git clone -b develop https://github.com/Phariverse/PharoCore.git

then set pharoCoreRepoPath below to path to repository directory inside PharoCore git repository.

Finally run the expressions in this workspace to connect your image up to the correct repositories.
