Most people, myself included, were skeptical when Microsoft bought GitHub and assumed it would change for the worse. In this case I'm happy to have been proven wrong and I've seen nothing but improvements to GitHub following it's acquisition. They pretty much immediately made private repos free if you have less than four contributors and have allowed GitHub to continue to deliver awesome features like GitHub actions for free to open source repos.
- commoner 7y agoWhile that was an improvement from before, it pales in comparison to GitLab.com's free private repos with no contributor restrictions. Additionally, GitLab.com offers free continuous integration/delivery for both open source and proprietary repos. GitLab is also source-available. https://about.gitlab.com/pricing https://about.gitlab.com/pricing https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/program https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/program GitHub is doing the bare minimum to compete while relying on network effects from its existing user base - better than nothing, but not enough to justify showering Microsoft with praise.
