In the past we have had few "code repos" from Savannah to Sf and few sites like freshmeat to spread the news, the code, the idea. Of course we also have had and have used usenet.
IMVHO today it's time to evalutare ZeroNet for project sites/blog and something like IPFS (not much convinced by this project but...) for code and repos to AVOID depend on someone else server's switching to relay only on us all.
For me there is no difference in GitHub or GitLab or Bitbucket etc, nor between Google and Microsoft. In an era of diversity companies are not a problem, in an oligopolistic era like today, in an era of proprietary platforms instead of open standard companies are a problem and should be avoided, especially if they are big, especially if they push mix of proprietary and FOSS solution.
- spot 8y agonot sure where you are coming from. did you know that gitlab is vastly more open source than github?
- antoineMoPa 8y agoIronically, I think Gitlab's popularity comes from the fact that it allowed free private repos, gaining more popularity in "closed source" teams. (At least, that's why I first used Gitlab)
- monkeynotes 8y agoWe have community edition deployed to AWS which is pretty neat. Not only do we have private repos, but the entire deployment is private and behind a firewall. Github would require you to sign up for an enterprise hosted account and pay +$$$s. For the project we have at work that would be a hard, hard sell - without Gitlab we'd be a bit screwed for modern Git workflow with easy code reviews and all the other great stuff Github pioneered.
- dsumenkovic 8y agoThere are plenty of reasons why people are picking GitLab. You can read more about it here https://about.gitlab.com/2017/07/19/git-wars-switching-to-gitlab/ https://about.gitlab.com/2017/07/19/git-wars-switching-to-gi.... However, that's an old blog-post, today GitLab is the only single product for the complete DevOps lifecycle. Here you can find out more references about GitLab DevOps https://about.gitlab.com/devops/ https://about.gitlab.com/devops/.
- kkarakk 8y ago>ZeroNet is a decentralized web-like network of peer-to-peer users. so how do you "spread the word" by using a peer to peer network that no one has signed up for? might as well share a link to the project on your google drive on a subreddit you maintain but don't publicize
- simias 8y agoI use github a lot but I'm not too worried about the vendor lock-in. Since git is by nature distributed it's trivial to migrate the code elsewhere. The real problem is migrating the issues (but there are solutions for that as well, even if it's a bit more clunky) and the "social network" aspect but I don't care much for that myself. But you're right, maybe IPFS plus something like Fossil (including issues in the VCS directly) could be a good solution to have a truly decentralized "platform".
- matt_the_bass 8y agoFor me and my team, git is not the tie-in for github. PRs are. Those are the proprietary parts of GitHubs value proposition. We use them all the time and fine the review process pretty convenient. I haven’t tried gitlabs equivalent. I’m sure we could use them but we’d need to adjust our workflow. So we’ll stay at github until the cost of migrating is less than any pain points we find at GitHub
- tkxxx7 8y agoPRs seem to have the same functionality everywhere; I haven’t seen anything in Github that I couldn’t do in Bitbucket or Gitlab.
- dsumenkovic 8y agoPRs are related to MRs (Merge Requests), howver MRs have some additional features. Here you can read more about it https://about.gitlab.com/comparison/gitlab-merge-request-vs-github-pull-request.html https://about.gitlab.com/comparison/gitlab-merge-request-vs-...
