IMHO it is not a good time to move out of Github right now.
I think Microsoft will offer a bundled developer ecosystem like Atlassian (bitbucket/trello/jira/confluence/pipelines), Amazon (Cloud9/Codecommit/codestar/chime).
I bet a bundle with something like skype / github / visual studio / linkedIn Learning... will come soon.
- stuntkite 8y agoMan, I was hoping they would bundle it with something I wanted.

- protonimitate 8y agoAgreed. Jumping ship is a knee jerk reaction to news that hasn't impacted the platform at all yet. I'm not against trying out other services and encouraging competition in this space, but people are over-reacting just a bit to the news.
- wastedhours 8y agoExactly, and with the "moving to Gitlab" comments of the past few days, the switching cost is (at present) still really low. Only once something changes will the need to move increase (if it ever does). That being said, I've only ever put my repositories on Gitlab because of the free private ones, although the vast majority of libraries I used are on GH.
- jredmond 8y agoI don't have any hard evidence, but I suspect that the people who have already jumped ship from GH only did so with solo projects or with very small teams. The switching cost for those people/teams is always going to be pretty low.
