I bet freenode is on fire right now
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I never liked GitHub
I personally found GitHub useful.
Jenkins, GitLab, and other build or code-repository services lacked in proper design.
I will say GitHub is a well-done and well-established service and community.
Their business model strongly encouraged open-sourcing projects. Microsoft buying this sends a strong message that this will no longer be a priority.
I never cared to have my stuff open source. I keep all my stuff on a private fileserver I host at home.
It's not even like a website costs that much
The projects I work on are paid accounts on GitHub who keep their code closed.
There are also open-source clones for GitHub that can be privately hosted.
Git on command
it's not hard
I will never use mercurial or subversion ever again
It's not like it's going away either, and has Microsoft even stated their plan for it? They might just want the profit and might not change it.
It's definitely a PR stunt
sec
oh god the hentai cat
Microsoft has been a bully buyer since foundation.
so i should delete my account
You do you
I'm highly suspicious though.
lol
just joined #github on freenode
Github was an early pusher of "Code of Conduct" cancer, I don't feel sorry for their fate.
Also, why not mercurial? I find it superior to git in almost every way.
@DanielKO I find more concern in the community around GitHub at this point than the service itself. I remember the code of conduct crap.
@DanielKO One of the reasons I don't praise them. Another being I'm not on board with copyleft
Git originating from a copyleft group
iirc
But they don't force you to any of those things (copyleft, code of conduct), tho.
*stops using github*
Git came from Linus, he's against copyleft. You're not well informed in the subject.
@DanielKO why is the kernel under GPL 2 then?
He regrets it.
It's impractical to relicense it, with tens of thousands of contributors that would need to be contacted.
Git was born out of a shitshow, where Linus wanted everyone to use his friend's proprietary tool, BitKeeper.
Git is great. You don't want to go back to svn.
Hg is better.
