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.

To expect them to change in a matter of a few years is a big lie.

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.

@DanielKO lol that is a retelling of history. Bitkeeper changed their license

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitKeeper#Pricing_change

@DanielKO anyone that says X source control system is better than the other when they are both blatently similar is either trolling or clueless.

Also SVN is better for some projects than Git

Yes, SVN has its use cases, but I came not across them.

Dude, I saw the BitKeeper shitshow unfold.

The creator got butthurt because the community didn't want to use his proprietary client. So they started reverse engineering it with telnet. Then he got so pissed off, he revoked the free license he had granted to the Linux project.
