The target audience for this is college kids, who these days frequently use GitHub for consuming course material (e.g. boilerplate for class assignments). Doesn't seem like a bad move on their part to avoid rolling their own account system. People like one-click auth.
- bostand 9y agoYeah, but they may not have an account on github. And I see more and more students using gitlab instead since they have free private repos
- rrdelaney 9y agoStudents get free private repos on Github too with the education pack.
- teddyh 9y agoOh it’s free, that’s all right then. Many people don’t use cost as the sole measure of everything.
- michaelmior 9y agoSure, but the parent commenter explicitly mentioned free as a reason for using GitLab.
- MattRix 9y agoSo then they can make a GitHub account... I don't see how that would be worse than having to make a custom HackMIT account.
