I'd like to move off of GitHub but I'm disappointed that I'll have to leave behind the discoverability and cache of GitHub. I'm not sure that it will be as clear if I put a GitLab on my resume, for instance. I imagine others have given this thought; any advice or experiences to share?
- ktaylora 4y agoI started on GitHub, moved to a job that used Gitlab, and then another that uses Bitbucket. Being platform agnostic about CI/CD and Git, I think, looks better than being wed to a single provider.
- suprjami 4y agoThink of this the other way around. Do you want to work for a company who equates "GitHub" with coding and doesn't know what GitLab is? I wouldn't.
- maxbond 4y agoI think lots of perfectly good companies have hiring people who might make this kind of mistake. But I'm also concerned it would doom an open source project, as contributors/users would have more trouble finding it.
- suprjami 4y agoI agree. There's a popular roguelike which is hosted on GitLab (called Infra Arcana) and it's not always easy for people to find it, nor to find the equivalent of GitHub's Releases page.
- Gigachad 4y agoWhat discoverability does GitHub provide anyway? I know they have that Explore page but I was under the impression they were trying to kill that. I have mostly found projects through the source link on whatever package manager I discovered it on.
