I want to applaud GitHub for doing this in a peaceful manner. They have every right to ask this. I think having all project develop their own UI style will allow for more innovation to happen. At GitLab we are greatly inspired by GitHub but over time the GitLab became more distinctive. And that allowed a trickle of innovation to flow back, for example protected branches.

Not really. I wish most GUIs would be the same if they are offered for pretty much the same functionality, like searching for hotels or flights. Too bad to see the smaller is giving up the good fight. Last thing I would care is someone takes my GUI -- only means I designed something extremely useful in the first place. Go ahead! Duplicate for everyone's benefit. And notice they said its a good first start. This will get similar to Apple having issues with corner's curve of Samsung devices... never enough curved to actually not remind of Apple's products. Bad move on Github part, but I'm happy with Btibucket anyways.

  > Not really. I wish most GUIs would be the same if they are offered for pretty much the same functionality, like searching for hotels or flights. Agreed. Remember when one of the complaints about Linux apps was that they used so many different toolkits (e.g. Athena, qt, gtk+ &c.)? Now we use web apps, and every single one looks different, and none of them is as usable as xterm. 'Progress'!
