+
+Today, the canonical repository of the Ruby programming language was moved to Git from Subversion.
+
+The web interface for the new repository is [https://git.ruby-lang.org](https://git.ruby-lang.org), and is provided by cgit. We can keep the commit hash from the contributor on the Ruby repository directly.
+
+## Development policy
+
+* We don't use a topic branch on cgit.
+* The GitHub repository will still be just a mirror. We don't use the "Merge pull request" feature.
+* The ruby_2_4, ruby_2_5, and ruby_2_6 branches will continue to use SVN. We don't push anything to these branches on cgit.
+* Starting with ruby_2_7, we'll use cgit to develop stable branches.
+* We don't use merge commits.
+
+## Special Thanks
+
+* k0kubun

+  k0kubun aggressively develops toolchains related to release and backport workflows and also updates the hook script for git.
+
+* naruse
+
+  naruse updates the feature changes for Ruby CI and Redmine (bugs.ruby-lang.org).
+
+* mame
+
+  mame creates the commit notification script for slack.
+
+## Future Work
+
+We still have to complete some tasks. If you find an issue related to the Git migration, please file it to [https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14632](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14632).
+
+Enjoy!
