I think it is fair to say Gitlab is already eating Github's lunch. For some time.
- brightball 5y agoIs it?
- nerdponx 5y agoAre they? What's the Gitlab market share? Also, it sounds to me like Github is leaving the old lunch of "Git hosting + issue tracking" on the table, and moving on to being a kind of web-based all-in-one full-service collaboration/dev platform with a social network built in. So even if Gitlab picks up some single-digit-percentage market share, that's not what Github cares about anyway.
- pjot 5y agoEspecially considering the coupling of GitHub with vscode
- what_is_orcas 5y ago> a kind of web-based all-in-one full-service collaboration/dev platform with a social network built in. Why would I want a social network built into my version control & ci/cd pipeline (I assume you're referring to the "stars" feature, and not about issue reporting). Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I'm sort of sick of everything becoming a social network. I neither have nor do I want internet clout, and all social networks feel like they're trying to force me into "keeping up with the Jones'" in whatever way they're relevant.
- johannes1234321 5y agoIn OpenSource space there is a small value: If I get a contribution from a stranger and I see they are respected contributor to trustworthy other organisations I can derive some trust from that. (Doesn't mean handing out access and blindly merging, but helps to judge) Also for people looking for jobs it can be a tool for self promotion.
- nerdponx 5y agoGithub has been a social network for years. You can follow users and "star" repositories. It has its merits for search and discovery.
