   Thanks for the link. Purchasing GitHub, if true, can certainly complicate things.

   It's 100% related, but I would also not read too much into the numbers. There will always be a small minority that hates Microsoft like no tomorrow and this is very much reflected on reddit ( https://reddit.com/r/p

   If Microsoft decides to make GitHub free for all, this can honestly have a devastating affect on GitLab and Bitbucket. I really think Microsoft is a lot more interested in: - capturing developer data for ML/AI research - identify new

    If you have more than 5 contributors, you can probably afford to spend $5/user/month If that isn't the case, then GitLab/Gogs/Gitea/etc. is probably the better route to go.

    The 90's also had ClearCase, which is quite revolutionary for its time and I guess it still is. It was a beast to maintain and IBM was making a killing in annual license fee (~3000 per license)

    I've said this in the past, but you really have to focus on the more difficult things, if you want to stay competitive in Git hosting. If it is easy to implement and is useful, one of your competitors, is going to copy you. Right now
