Best of luck to BitBucket but why on earth would Github do this? They're a business
- j45 15y agoThe same question could be asked why Github gives away so many free repos to open-source projects... :) Bitbucket is a business too. I have no issue paying them. Besides, storing bytes costs pennies, or less.
- apsurd 15y agoMarketshare. Everyone knows about GitHub because everyone shares links to their projects hosted on GitHub! Same reason they provide https://gist.github.com/ https://gist.github.com/ and http://pages.github.com http://pages.github.com Whether you eventually want to start your own business or just want to work for a good company ; you still end up at the same place - in a team environment, needing secure, painless version control hosting. I can tell you right now there is no other service I would use or recommend other than GitHub.
