Really hoping to see a max exodus from GitHub after this. Microsoft back to their old tactics like we all knew they would.

- Tenoke 5y agoIf you have public repos anywhere people can train on them just as much.
- ostenning 5y agoThat's also my general sentiment. I assume anyone can do virtually anything with my public repos with little recourse from me. I wouldn't even know if they are indeed breaking my license agreements. Doesn't really help the situation though.
- encryptluks2 5y agoGitHub only recently allowed non-paid private repos. Previously these were only reserved for paid plans. Also, GitHub has a specific section for license files. GitHub actually believes these license files mean something, and states that they must be included with the repo so they are downloaded with it. Just because you can teach a script to ignore a LICENSE file, doesn't mean that it still doesn't apply. That is like saying that because you can teach a robot to ignore restricted airspace, that it is allowed to fly around an airport.
- ostenning 5y agoAny suggestions for an alternative? One thing I like about github is that it 'seems' to be a defacto standard for portfolios & public works. It also has excellent integration into AWS and alike
- aloisdg 5y agoGitLab is the best alternative feature wise. https://sourcehut.org/ https://sourcehut.org/ is great too if you are into this kind of things
- selfhoster11 5y agoGitLab is a fairly good one. Lots of people self-host their own GitLab/Gitea instance too.
- goodpoint 5y agoSourceHut or Codeberg
