GCBASIC Files

We have moved the demonstration folder structure and the demonstration source(s) to GitHub.

Link to demonstration source(s) on GitHub

GitHub is a version control repository similar to SourceForge but GitHub enables everyone to participant and add/revise the demonstration source files.

GitHub is mostly used for code development, so, it is a good place for the demonstration source(s). GitHub also provides distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. We are using a free repository that support open-source software projects - Great Cow BASIC is an open-source project. The access control and collaboration features are key to maintaining the demonstration source(s).

Rational

Managing the nearly 1200 demonstration files cannot longer be the responsibility of one person. The community can now add and revise the demonstration source(s). And, as GitHub has many more user features, like search and copy, the demonstration source(s) can now grow faster. You can Word search, search for a specific file, create new demonstration source files, edit an existing demonstration source and take a copy of the latest version of the demonstration source(s) rather than waiting for the next release.

To Use

Access https://github.com/GreatCowBASIC/Demonstration_Sources . You may have to create a user account to access but this is part of the GitHub user management process. Then, you will see the demonstration source(s) in your browser.

SVN Usage

If you are using a SVN desktop software package - you will be able to integrate directly to your GitHub account - which means changes are version controlled and automatically managed.
