> I was lucky to learn early-on that publishing important things to the web meant relinquishing control of not just the IP, but my own agency and fate. Not only is that not true, it's contradicted by the very page you link. That page has a list of links to resources you can use to self-host git repositories you want to publish, so you don't have to give up control of anything. (Although, against GitHub as I am, even I am unable to fathom how publishing things on GitHub could possibly mean relinquishing control of your fate.)

      If you believe so, then please share what you know. Elucidate me. Your comment didn’t advance the conversation in the slightest. For all anyone knows, you’re the confused one (either about GitHub’s history, git’s history, or understanding the comment).
