Good.
- pmarreck 2y agoIt would be way better if tooling was hub-agnostic and compatible with all git:// style url's so that github would not be a SPOF as well as a single point of monopolizing
- nexus_six 2y agoThere are privacy and data integrity issues with GitHub for both enterprise and personal use. Gitlab and other self-hosted alternatives are nearly exactly the same. I don't know if "by harder for me as a user" they mean the web-facing frontend, or something else. And even then something like Gitlab offers the exact same feature set as Github does on the web frontend. On a sidenote this is the same "but x is so much more convenient" mentality that is driving open source projects to lock all their documentation behind something like a Discord chatroom instead of having a proper docs page or wiki.
