Joe 6 years ago@sigg3 & @lnxw37 I sort of agree. But I think Github is a hearts and minds project as far as Microsoft is concerned. That place brought us together as developers and I would be very surprised if they ruined it. The to be CEO is the guy from Xamerin, he did some good work there. I will jump ship immediately if something changes, especially if it's like the DICE/SF fiasco. I think we need to wait and see. Git is decentralised by design so no one can take our repo's away from us.

Lnxw37 6 years agoI remember when Dice bought #SourceForge. It was suddenly awash in deceptive installers with bundled adware. @sigg3 is right, I believe.

Joe 6 years agoI sort of want to see if anything changes before making a decision. I can't see MS doing anything wrong, it would be financial suicide. We also have nothing to hide on GH as everything is open source. The private projects I do have, I think Github is still the best place for them. I think I would use Gitlab as an alternative though. I like the services as I don't have to think about it. I deployed Gitlab at work and it's great. But needs resources I'm not willing to pay for to host it.
