I feel that deep down inside, Github is dead or will be dead, we just don't yet have anywhere to go...
That's why people talk like that. There's the GitHub the world loved, then there's the Micro$oft version, which we're starting to see problems with.
I think "GitHub" is the old good place, Microsoft Github, is the problematic version we're going to see more of.
- Gigachad 4y agoGitHub was stagnant before and GitLab had basically overtaken it. Since the acquisition they have massively picked up the pace and delivered several exceptionally good features. GitLab is still a very viable alternative but there is just very little reason to want to leave GitHub. The vast majority of devs either don’t care about or enjoy copilot. It’s just a small number of HN whiners who make most of the noise on the topic.
- number6 4y agoI think Copilot is very in sync with GPLs Idea of Copyleft and learning form code. Alle projects using Copilot should therefore also be GPL or AGPL
- wizzwizz4 4y agoIt isn't compliant with GPL's attribution requirements. If it were made so, then yeah, I'd agree – with the caveat that it'd also have to be MIT, BSD, Apache etc. compliant.
- wilg 4y agoEverything GitHub has done since Microsoft's acquisition has been great! The product is getting so much better – Copilot is wonderful, Actions are great, issue improvements. More please!
- generic-husky 4y agoSounds like you might like: https://sourcehut.org https://sourcehut.org (it's also completely free of crypto/web3 schemes, as an added bonus) If GitHub (M$) continues this path of stomping on licenses/copyright of the people who made it great in the first place (i.e repo authors/contributors), I'm definitely gone.
