Basilisk Repo and Forum moving to GitHub

[schaubh]

We just released the next tagged Basilisk release, version 2.1.5, along with the latest version of Vizard to the BitBucket repo. Please be aware that we are now moving the repo over to GitHub as this will provide many benefits to maintain the code, have more expansive continuous integration solutions, better control each commit to develop to be run through CI tests on all platforms, etc.

The process of the move is starting tonight. The online documentation is already posted at

http://hanspeterschaub.info/basilisk

Note the online instructions to use a terminal command to move an existing local Basilisk source folder git files to point to the new GitHub repo. See http://hanspeterschaub.info/basilisk/Install/pullCloneBSK.html

Further, the google forum is now being replaced with the integrated GitHub discussion forum. This should provide for a better user experience. I'll leave the Google Forum up for now so users have access to prior questions and answers. But this will be deleted at some point in the future.

We have now started the transition (evening Dec. 13 Denver time) to GitHub. Will take a day or so for the transition to be complete. I'll post here when the GitHub repo is up and running.

Ok, the initial transition from BitBucket to GitHub is now complete. Users can download the repo from https://github.com/AVSLab/basilisk. We are still expanding the CI tests, policies, automatic documentation generation, etc. But, we will no longer be pushing new code branches to BitBucket. Please look to GitHub repo to get the latest code.

Update on migration to GitHub. This morning I went through the BSK google forum posts from about the last year and copied them over to the GitHub BSK discussion forum at https://github.com/AVSLab/basilisk/discussions/categories/general. This way the recent comments and solutions are retained in this migration to GitHub. However, as I'm making all these posts on GitHub discussion, the original author info is lost in this migration. I left the names in the messages when they were there. Thanks everyone for the feedback and participation on the google forum. This should be facilitated even better on the GitHub discussion forum.
