Given the rise of Sourcehut as some people's new goto and Github finally offering container registry, it seems like a good time to pull that trigger too. I as a whole like GitLab as an all-in-one solution.
- zucker42 6y agoI love Sourcehut, but Sourcehut's only competitive right now in the indie/free software enthusiast market. I doubt Gitlab views them as a major threat.
- skinnymuch 6y agoMuch like Sourceforge isn’t and Bitbucket is not the same sort of competitor or threat as a couple of years ago. The private version that is sold (Stash?) could be though.
- lox 6y agoThat is what GitHub thought about Gitlab
- zucker42 6y agoIt's not the best comparison. Gitlab is VC-backed, whereas Sourcehut aims for slow, sustainable growth. Plus, the UX decisions of Sourcehut are so drastically different from Gitlab/Github that it doesn't threaten existing customers very much.
- skinnymuch 6y agoRise is a bit much. We barely think of the public facing Bitbucket or Sourceforge. I bet both are bigger than Sourcehut still.
- tootie 6y agoI was rooting for Bitbucket and Mercurial 7 years ago. Shame.
- skinnymuch 6y agoI was rooting for Mercurial or any other to get a minority but significant market share. I don’t like mono cultures. Ah well.
