Thanks to Mathias Kinzler EGit have initial support for rebasing. Currently only the simple scenario is supported, when there are no conflicts between actual and given branch. Currently the only place from with rebase action can be launched is in Git Repositories view, the ‘Rebase’ option is available on each branch node for given repository.

If you want to test this new feature you should install EGit for ours “Bleeding Edge Builds” update site.

I think that every one knows GitHub and as you should know that we can host there for free ours open source project’s but if we want to have a private repository we should pay for it. It seams fair … but what if I don’t want to pay ? I can setup my own server somewhere or … use one of on-line file hosting service like dropbox (for free we get here 2GB, this is lots of space for git repositories ).

How it is possible? It is only about files. As we all know git keeps everything inside .git folder, therefore we can put it in dropbox. To do it we only need to have an account and configured dropbox-folder on ours hard drive, and here is recipe:

1. First of all we should add new remote to our git remote configuration, I’ll call it dropbox:

   git remote add dropbox file:///home/lock/path/to/dropbox-folder/project.git

2. Now we should create folder project.git
3. Launch a terminal and enter project.git folder
4. Run:

   git init --bare

5. Go back to yours project directory and push into dropbox:

   git push dropbox

Viola! Dropbox daemon will automatically synchronize with remote “repository”. And there is another feature of this solution, you can share this folder with yours friends!

But there are also some disadvantages:

1. No access control – if you share yours project with friend she (or he) have full access and can even delete everything … but you always have yours local copy
2. No web interface – this obvious … I think

This solution I figure out few minutes ago and use it to backup my BS project, and it seams to be working very well

UPDATE:

As Tim said it is also possible to have a free Git hosting on bettercodes.org. To be honest I didn’t check it because solution with dropbox meets my needs.

NEXT UPDATE:

According to Machu’s comment, there is also assembla.com that gives 2GB for SVN or Git repository.

I’m sure that when you trays automated dependency management and application building/deploying you will never want to abandon this kind of comfort that it gives. The same situation is with dependency injection; when you will get it ideas. In “normal” desktop, web, or server side project’s integrating with such tools like maven and guice isn’t that complicated like in Android projects.
Android tooling is very consistent and the ADT plug-in isn’t integrated with maven. This isn’t a problem when application is relatively small, or when you don’t want to use continuous integration tools like Hudson. But when you enter Android world from “enterprise” web application like I do, you surely would like to use CI, DI and lots more of cool stuff that was available before.

In this post I’ll present simple Android application that will have Maven and Guice support.
