It's not hard

and it would make the PS3Xploit account so much better

I think that's better too, but esc0rtd3w,habib and bguerville will need to create separate accounts and this could make future problems, related to merging commits and others.

Creating seperate accounts is easy and allows for each developer to have credit for the specific contributions they make.

How would it make merging commits problematic?

Yes, the commits wont be linked to an account when first transfered, but

a) this isnt the end of the world
b) if one of the devs adds the email from the ps3xploit account to their personal account then the commits will show in their name

 

[Caio99BR]

a) dont be rude :/
b) that's fine

Merging commits when there is no way of control commits (gerrit) could be a big headache, many peoples working at same project could create conflicts.
Anyway that's a option of PS3Xploit Team

Thanks for the suggestion but we already considered this long ago & unanimously decided against it.

One single free account is perfectly sufficient to cater for our current needs, the bulk of our work is not software development with frequent commits, it's exploitation work that remains private until ready. Also most of the time we all separately work on different things really & we very rarely need to merge files. In the v3 tools release for instance, in terms of file production habib took care of the resigner app & reverse engineering to find patches while I put up the html & js ROP framework together, esc0rtd3w took care of all the testing (not a small job) & everything else. While maybe convenient, upgraded github accounts would not have helped us in the least.

We have already invested enough time & money in this endeavour without donations of any kind. We will not spend extra money on upgrading github accounts for more features.

 

[Caio99BR]

But... you mean spend money to make private repositories, right?
Because you can create unlimited accounts on github (different from some other).

That's all I know.

 

[bguerville]

I mean upgraded accounts with more features like the private repos among other things.
As to using multiple accounts, it makes no sense for us. What would that bring to the table?
We have no need for specific credits, we work as a team. Credit is to the team, each of us played an essential part in producing the releases, it doesn't matter who did what, not one of us deserves more recognition than the others.

We see no point in mixing individual egos into it because in that case we may as well work each in our corner.

 

[esc0rtd3w]

yes, i agree with @bguerville

The team works as a whole. All of our projects are under the team umbrella. NONE of this would have been possible without ALL of us.

we all have our specialties and thinking paths that work well together, so any project done by any of us will be built upon the collective knowledge, experience, and code base we have had as a team throughout.

Team players are so rare nowadays it's refreshing to see guys like you that can just worry about a common goal and not who did what.
If more people had this mindset what an awesome world it could be.

Honestly its common here among devs.
