Interesting, this is my first time seeing "Gitee". It appears to be a Chinese clone of Github? Looking at a random project, the interface pretty much a direct clone: https://gitee.com/YanceSpring/F-IM https://gitee.com/YanceSpring/F-IM

The repo-level comments section is an interesting touch.

Some source said the Gitee was based on GitLab, I can't confirm because I'm not yet an user. See also: https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/21/china-is-building-its-github-alternative-gitee/ https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/21/china-is-building-its-gith...

  Guess what, I just registered a test account, and poked a little bit for fun (Somebody already took the username I wanted so I'm not in the mood to actually use their service). I found that at least their URL routing system is not well-thought. See, they have a "Self Services" system under the HTTP path "/self_services", and the path to an user profile is formatted like "/username", the path to a repository is formatted like "/username/repositoryname". So... (I think you've already guessed it) - This is the URL to their Self Service: https://gitee.com/self_services https://gitee.com/self_services - Then, I registered a user named "self_services" (successfully, surprise!), and created a repository: https://gitee.com/self_services/test-repo https://gitee.com/self_services/test-repo. Yeah, that just happened. I guess they are using a big global Routing Table instead of a staged one. Hope can get it they fixed, because it could be a hole in their security.

more like a gitlab clone than github clone.

I tried looking at commit history for few repos and was prompted login to view them. Not sure what logic in deciding you had to login to view commit history. Especially when you can clone the repo to local and view it there.

  Growth hacking, if you can consider that logic.

  its a rather expensive operation, so restricting for anonymous users is a sensible trade off.

China and GitHub have a kind of history. GitHub has been blocked multiple times by CCP for repos related to Tibet, Taiwan and Hong Kong. And there have been a few large-scale ddos attacks very openly coordinated from China. So I guess it was just a matter of time before this would happen. I assume they will block GitHub permanently now.
