GitHub::SQL has been released as an officially-maintained project and ruby gem: github/github-ds.

@holman got a request about our deployment system, heaven

I know it's not a high priority, but has there been any activity on open-sourcing the core Heaven gem?

There is. I've been working on extracting the non-GitHub specific parts into two gems. This first is a CLI portion called hades. The second is an HTTP API portion called heaven.

When you open source something previously used as in internal tool like Heaven, Hubot, Boxen, etc., how do you manage and hook in the parts that need to stay internal?

Normally I focus around four questions:

	if application "BitTorrent Sync" is running then
	tell application "System Events" to tell process "BitTorrent Sync"
	tell menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
	click
	click menu item "Pause Syncing" of menu 1
	end tell
	end tell
	end if

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby
	# Usage: gitio URL [CODE]
	#
	# Turns a github.com URL
	# into a git.io URL
	#
	# Copies the git.io URL to your clipboard.

	url = ARGV[0]
	code = ARGV[1]

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby

	#
	# A quick script to dump an overview of all the open issues in all my github projects
	#

	require 'octokit'
	require 'awesome_print'
	require 'rainbow'

	HTTPS = require "https"
	EventEmitter = require("events").EventEmitter

	class Campfire extends EventEmitter
	constructor: (options) ->
	@token = options.token
	@rooms = options.rooms.split(",")
	@account = options.account
	@domain = @account + ".campfirenow.com"
	@authorization = "Basic " + new Buffer("#{@token}:x").toString("base64")

	require 'spec/runner/formatter/progress_bar_formatter'

	class NescafeFormatter < Spec::Runner::Formatter::ProgressBarFormatter
	def example_failed(example, counter, failure)
	super
	dump_failure(counter, failure)
	end
	end
