Apples to oranges, GitHub provides Git as a service and Git is open source, so you can take your repo any time and host it yourself in number of different ways. It just happens that GitHub is most popular (for now) Git As A Service, probably due to the fact that GitLab had few horrible outages regularly every few months for past 2-3 years and hosting it yourself is/was also a bit of nightmare. Anyway, it's not like that. ;)
- TAForObvReasons 9y agoThe problem with GitHub silo is not the repo hosting per se but the ancillary services. Issues are not easily exported. The milestones and related metadata are not easily exported. Even the identities are not easily exported since you can use noreply email addresses in git actions if you turn off public email
- tachion 9y agoNeither of these are Git features. Vote with your legs if you think what you want should be available in a service like this.
- true_religion 9y agoMy company has gone through three different milestones and issue apps. Sure its mot manually exportable but thats why we pay for data entry staff.
