Sorry, I haven't published it yet. It honestly took a long time to develop the schemas, but I might publish it the future. The issue right now is, I'm a single founder so I really have to be smart with my time and publishing thi

Cool. It's taken me years to find an efficient (and most importantly, easily debuggable) way to transfer Git's history to SQL. Since you are looking for use cases, I'll share with you some of the ways that I'm leveragin

GitHub's Super Linter has an unusual history. See below for example: https://imgur.com/KZ008vu https://imgur.com/yJSHIWS admiralawkbar accounts for 80% of the commits in the repository and over 98% of

I don't think this is a correct analogy, as I like wood working and program for a living. I would say it would be more of "what types of extensions or addons should I use", which in itself, is less than cut and dry, since a l

Thanks for letting me know! You would think Imgur would would ensure things work on mobile, but maybe this is by design.

I vaguely remember a post a while back (maybe a year ago) where they said they can't make a part of their remote technology open-source. Maybe things have changed, but I was quite sure it was something they were keeping close to them.

I think the most important thing that most people maybe forgetting is, GitHub maybe announcing these features, but these features were the results of acquiring companies that were solely focused on these features for years. So if you take t

I think peoples concerns are quite valid, but a lot of the criticism comes from poorly designed tools. In full disclosure, I've been researching developer insights for quite a while and I will be releasing something in the near future

Are you saying this because you have inside knowledge or because this affects you on a personal level? You also sprinkled in "simply avoiding crowded spaces", but you don't suggest a way to encourage/enforce this.

It is important to understand that the "one single workflow" was very much what VSTS (Microsoft's GitHub competitor before they bought GitHub) was providing. It is very evident that Microsoft's enterprise background is

Honestly the post for https://grep.app that was posted a few days ago is a perfect example of demonstrating what you can do. He had the CTO of GitHub reach out to him publicly. I'm pretty sure if you can demonstrate how you

I've read they don't hire junior people, which might explain why you haven't heard anything. As somebody that has written a search engine, I would suggest you implement one and make it accessible to overcome the junior titl

It would certainly be an expensive play. When he mentioned a 20 core system, I'm assuming it is some VM system, since I don't know of any 20 core CPUs. I'm guessing he is using DigitalOcean and he has two of them, so he is l

This is my personal observation, but GitHub appears to be a much more ambitious company, now that they are part of Microsoft. With a CEO that understands both the open source and the enterprise world and with Microsoft cash at hand, I don&#

For GitHub, I would have to imagine only being able to search public repos with regexp would be good enough. GitHub has many strategies, but the main one is, they want to maintain, if not, expand their open source mind share. The more reaso

It also probably goes without saying he should be careful with what details to share.

They really are doing something disruptive. I can't quite remember if this is correct (it has been a while since I last studied business), but in business there is a "blue ocean strategy". The basic premise is, if you can p

Now that they belong to Microsoft, direct revenue is no longer as important. GitHub will probably be treated as a loss leader for the time being, with the long term goal of making it an Enterprise leader. Microsoft will be more than happy

There is no way I can see them open sourcing GitHub. If you have studied the history of versioning control systems (ClearCear, Perforce, TFS, Subversion, etc.) you would know how insanely powerful controlling the hosting solution is. I ca

Were they ever hosted on GitHub?

by sdesol 8y ago
They aren't hosting on gitlab.com and github.com because both are not open source. Gitlab.com is open core which us why they host on their own gitlab ce version.

Yeah I really think people are trying to read way too much into things. The only true bellwether in my opinion, are influential open source projects leaving GitHub for something else, like self hosting with GitLab/Bitbucket/etc.

Microsoft currently offering free private repos and them acquiring GitHub may be quite telling. I don't think people fully realize what kind name recognition GitHub has, on the Git hosting space. When Microsoft shutdown their competin

I guess the question is who will hurt the most. Will this hurt non microsoft products more or less. Microsoft might want to funnel people to their cloud and sacrificing tfs might make sense.

I think Microsoft can really help GitHub in the Enterprise space. Imagine GitHub being able to offer GitHub Enterprise for free for the first 10 users. Imagine being able to discount GitHub Enterprise heavily.
