I understand what you're saying and unfortunately it's true but it's also silly because Gitlab, Bitbucket and others can use Open Auth APIs to make contribution easier. I for example use Google Auth on Gitlab but Github didn't have that back when I signed up. If they did I would have used it there too.
- dkersten 10y agoI guess GitHub got mindshare early and then became the entrenched option. So its less about technical merits than not, although anecdotally, while GitHub has its flaws, in many ways I prefer its UX to that of GitLab and Bitbucket. For example, Bitbucket's overview page isn't very useful to me at all and yet its the default repo page.
