Why are people worried about Github? I mean, I use it and I like it, but I also have local copies of my code. If I stop liking Github, I feel pretty confident I could set up another workflow with Gitlab or even self-hosted git if I had to.
I mean--I used to use Skype all the time, but now I use something else. If MS breaks Github, there are options.
- sjs382 8y agoGitHub is more than just a place to upload code for a lot of people. They use it to manage issues, wikis, releases, orgs & commit permissions, etc. Some of that stuff is easier to migrate than others...
- nfoz 8y agoI wouldn't know how to migrate that between any systems. Maybe what's missing -- more than open source code -- is open formats for that sort of data? Like we just need a button to export that from github more than I think I'd need Github's server code.
- OJFord 8y agoGitLab has that button - of course, it can't import a community, but it can import issues et al. - and it's been busy today..! https://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/github-importer https://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/github-importer
