git-migration and Tonel for Pharo
If you want to migrate projects from SmalltalkHub (or any MCZ-based repo) to GitHub to profit from new git integration in Pharo then use Peters "git-migration" tool.
The tool is now using the Tonel format to store the code. Tonel is a file-per-class format, that means a class and all methods are stored in a single file. This is faster than having a file for each method but also prevents some trouble with git on Windows due to number of files and subdirectory depth.

A quick memory game using Pharo’s dynamic spec builder
Spec is a UI framework used in Pharo. It not only allows to declare static layout but you can also dynamically use it.
Here is a new medium article explaining some of it's features using a memory game as a demonstration. Nice!
