Version control
The main repository address is: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser.
The IGB project uses git for version control. Previously, we used svn (subversion) and cvs before that. We migrated from an svn repository on SourceForge to a git repository on Bitbucket in 2014.The main repository address is: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser..
History
From the late 1990s until around 2005, IGB and the Genoviz SDK were closed-source, owned by Neomorphic and then Affymetrix, which bought Neomorphic in Oct. 2000.
In 2004, Affymetrix released a tarball containing IGB and Genoviz SDK source code on the Affymetrix Web site. In Jan. 2005, Affymetrix developers imported the tarball contents into a new CVS repository at Sourceforge and began using that for further development, discarding the internal repository at Affymetrix. In 2008, we migrated the code to a subversion repository, also hosted at Sourceforge. In 2014, we migrated the source code for IGB and the Genoviz SDK to a new git repository at Bitbucket.
