How is it "customer lock-in"? Git != GitHub, Microsoft doesn't have a say over git.

How is it "customer lock-in"? Git != GitHub, Microsoft doesn't have a say over git.
- someeguy 8y agoThink bigger: * You have backlinks that point to your github repos, that need to be updated (not all of them are under your control). * If you were foolish enough to also host your blog/project website/whatever on Github Pages, moving means starting somewhere else from scratch (again: you need to update all your backlinks, not all of them under your control). * You have to update your build servers when your repos move elsewhere. * Your issue tracker is stuck on Github * Your discussions are stuck on Github * Your (developer) social network is stuck on Github. * Your statistics tracker is stuck on Github. There are a lot of lock-in features hidden in plain sight.
