Step 1: Embrace.
- dabockster 8y agoWe still have Gitlab if MSFT decides to do anything malicious.
- gurkendoktor 8y agoI don't think the big loss here is GitHub-the-software, but this short sweet period in time where everyone, from Microsoft to Apple, had their source code on the same platform. I doubt that e.g. Swift would have moved to GitHub if it had already been owned by Microsoft.
- dabockster 8y agoAgreed. Having GitHub be the place for OSS code has definitely been beneficial and convenient. That being said, I don't feel like it would be the end of the world if some of the projects moved to competing platforms.
- jenscow 8y agoI think they're on step 2 now. They already embraced it by adding 1k repos. They're now going to extend it. We'll soon have an msgit, which is git with extensions that only github will support.
- MarkyC4 8y agoYou mean like the current extensions in the .github folder (pull request template, etc)?
