Seems like Github is feeling heat from GitLab/BitBucket.
I guess the calculation here is that the enterprise contracts are where all the money is, and keeping smaller customers on GitHub is worth the price cut?
- JamesCoyne 6y agoPersonally, I have been favoring Gitlab over Github because Gitlab allows private repos on the free tier.
- StavrosK 6y agoI have been favoring Gitlab over Github because their CI is the best CI I've ever used. It just works, whereas every other CI found a way to make things hard for me. You can even spin up postgres and redis instances for tests by just specifying that you want them. It's amazing.
- leesalminen 6y agoCouldn't agree more. Gitlab's CI is what made me finally fall in love with CI as a concept. Obviously it was needed before, but it always felt like an ugly chore. With Gitlab, it's one of the first things I do when setting up a new project.

- CitizenKane 6y agoThrowing in a second opinion here for those curious. I've worked with a number of CI systems and had trouble with many. Gitlab CI has been the opposite of other experiences I've had with well over 10k jobs completed across different projects with diverse needs. Even for small hobby projects it's been great for me, it's nice to easily be able to push updates without having to worry about it. Makes it much easier to iterate and test things out!

- SOLAR_FIELDS 6y agoAs of early last year Github has offered this as well: https://github.blog/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/ https://github.blog/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/
- JamesCoyne 6y agoMissed that announcement I guess
- jlgosse 6y agoGithub has had free private repos for years now
- 333c 6y agoYep, GitLab has had this for ages, and GitHub has gone from no private repos on free plans to private repos with only a few collaborators to this.
- toyg 6y agoGitlab, yes. I don't see Bitbucket as much of a player (unless you're in the Atlassian ecosystem and you like it, which seems... rare).
- whalesalad 6y agoI guarantee that this move had absolutely nothing to do with competitors and everything to do with Microsofts new rise to dominance. Coding is going to be the next blue-collar job, they are positioning themselves to do well when we reach that inflection point.
