No, I don't want these features. I want reliable remote git storage, which lets me clone a copy of my source code anywhere so I can do these things locally, on my own machine. People forget that this was the original design and intent of Git as a decentralized protocol. As an industry I think we have become too reliant on Github as some kind of way-far-beyond-git magic tool. This might be fine until it isn't--like when Microsoft decides it's time to start training Copilot on your private code.

I'm pretty sure you will be able to find other services which only exist to host git projects and do nothing else.
- lopkeny12ko 3y agoYou say this as if you think most people have a choice...I've pushed hard in the past for my employer to move off Github but have been met with nothing but blind resistance.
- rockemsockem 3y agoBeing concerned for your own personal reasons about Microsoft scanning your code of one thing. How does it make sense for your employer to switch off GitHub?
- ziml77 3y agoBut that's not your code, that's your employer's code. You might have written it but they fully own it. This doesn't seem like something to be concerned about on their behalf.
- paxys 3y agoThen you shouldn't be using Github at all. Problem solved.
- lopkeny12ko 3y agoTell this to my CTO.
- paxys 3y agoWhy? It's his company, his code, his decisions. You are free to use whatever you want for your own projects.
- misnome 3y agoDoing remote storage _still_ requires their servers to read and process your repository data.
