>At that time, some warned of a mass exodus from GitHub to GitLab and other rival code repositories. As Roberto Galoppini has pointed out, however, no such exodus has happened. There are currently 85 million code repositories on GitHub, and only a lilliputian fraction of those have exited.

Carson Hughes
There's never any way to truly verify what you're really running, retard.
Angel Wright
you dont have to worry about server-side code though you brainlet, you care about client code aka what executes on YOUR machine

I never understood this. A lot of small companies (especially st*rtups) and similar work on sensitive projects and valuable, private data that amazon, google, microsoft, and others would love to get their hands on to develop their own products, and yet these same companies and people blindly store said projects and data right on their biggest competitor's servers. What's stopping those big companies from literally stealing the little guys' work?
Bentley Hughes
they'll get fines if they steal or abuse power read their terms of service for what the are and aren't allowed to do, which can be upheld in court
Caleb Gomez
by that metric github and facebook are open source

I left and am definitely not coming back, even if I was the only one. You simply don't get it, people like us aren't going where most people or money opportunities are, we're simply trying to do right things.
Austin Morales
no because the code is obfuscated (at least on facebook)
Parker Collins
Based. I'm in the same boat, my principles matter more to me than the majority. After all that's what gives us meaning and satisfaction in the end anyway. Peace

this is assuming that multinational corporations are held to the same standards as we peons are they aren't

also, i imagine this study isn't taking into account repositories that were left vacant and later cloned on gitlab. i know for a fact that the extraflags guys over on Jow Forums migrated to gitlab, as well as one of the more popular repositories over on the solus forums - but both left their github repositories open but un-updated. the oneechanx github was closed however, but it's definitely a minority case. i'd like to see the number of repositories who had an immediate decrease in activity following the microsoft announcement.
They wouldn't publish any data that puts them in a bad light.
Everything is fine, hahaha, come back pls, nobody left in the first place so please come back to github
Brody Torres
It's like why Jow Forums is still really the only usable English imageboard out there even though there's been over 30 other chans with better software features and better staff even; size is power.
We simply cannot ignore this girth,

>>So, if you bolted from GitHub because you feared the Redmond beast, it may be time to eat some humble pie and come back. There aren't many of you, so there will be plenty of pie to go around. I don't understand. Not very many left over the Microsoft thing, but why does it mean that those who did should come back? What's the logic here?
Alexander King
>What's the logic here? What logic? You're on Jow Forums, m8
Jaxon Howard
I was talking about the article. Why would those who left come back to GitHub because not that many left?
Brandon Moore
alt-right > left
Camden Carter
its a paid article probably
i personally switched to gitlab and i was pleasantly surprised, i can have private repositories and automated testing for free unlike github

Dominic Harris
Practically all current st*rtups are scams or failures in the making, if not already done.

They're idiots for thinking a lot of people left. Github is a more humble platform to work on than the alternatives.
>They're idiots for thinking a lot of people left. Let's assume they're right. But why should they come back because as many didn't leave as they assumed?
