Why does ST not use Github for STM32Cube?

It would be better to get any official updates from the official Git repository as soon as possible rather than sitting and waiting for the new official zip-file complete release. Also I'm ready to contribute my bugfixes and improvements to the HAL sources via pull requests.

    Some serious

    is also in order. Starting with a lot of clear and concise examples for a lot of use cases that come up on the forum over and over.

    +1 -- GREAT idea.  STM is already doing a lot of things right.  This would  be a great next step for STM to take.

    >>This is embedded, you can't be patching flaws every week like Adobe/Microsoft, it's not a model that works well.

    I could not agree more. In any S/W development realm it is a huge risk to update any portion of the tool chain. 

    For example, I updated MX to 4.11 which had a bug that trashed project configuration files.

    As far as dog fooding, I would suggest that ST hire a small army of summer interns who can rewrite the example and demo projects to use MX. There seems to be a paucity of examples projects from ST that use it.

    Well, they gave him a year.

    At last!

    I hope the repositories of other STM32 families will follow suit soon. Thank you, ST.

    P.S.

    The "Issues" section is closed though, so no bug reports in Github yet (:

    Is this legit STM32 github repo? I remember a pirate repo that got shut down by ST a few years back.

    Can an ST employee verify that this is genuine?
