I'm surprised Amazon wasn't in the running, do they have their own VCS/Git yet?
VSTS has a git clone, so it's a little weird them buying github, I can see it for the community/open source promotions, etc... Amazon could've probably integrated it well with AWS.
Honestly, this gave me a push to look at other options, and I'm liking gitlab more and more for the way it's organized, it's integration w/ devops like kubernetes (don't use yet, but someday I might lol), and I really like the way you can create groups, and organize projects under different groups.
The free plan also has tons of bells and whistles, for a solo dev.
- mattnewport 8y agoMicrosoft is a heavy user of git internally (e.g. Windows is now developed in a git repo) and though they do also have their own source control as part of VSTS they've also had first class support for git there for a while too so it isn't really that surprising.
- chis 8y agoAmazon has an internal git which is pretty heavily modified for use at their scale. It combines Git and package/version control into one application that works pretty well.
