Why it's considered to be an alternative? Github is all about social networking for developers, not code hosting, or am I wrong?

Why it's considered to be an alternative? Github is all about social networking for developers, not code hosting, or am I wrong?
- saltedmd5 8y agoYou are wrong. GitHub is a hosting platform for git repositories, which has collaboration tools (such as issue tracking and code review) built into it.
- viach 8y agoTrue, indeed it has all the features you mentioned. But do you think people stick to GitHub because these features are so hard to replicate?
- criddell 8y agoI'd be interested to see some numbers about projects that actually leave Github. Other than FUD about the Microsoft acquisition, has something changed on Github that is making people talk about leaving? Why run away before there's a concrete reason?
- viach 8y agoI don't have numbers, but my opinion is that the serious big/popular projects with some user base (contributors) will not bother, at least yet.
