It was a nice run

Its like, 3 commands? ( git vlone, git add remote, git push ). So if people would leave github, nothing is lost :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] federico3@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Github is designed to centralize git (as the word "hub" suggests). You can still migrate away code, issues and wikis, but contributors, followers, wiki editors, issue subscribers, visibility in general and github stars are locked in. Discoverability matters to projects trying to attract contributors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Belzebubulubu@mujico.org 1 point 2 years ago So you lose nothing, gotcha permalink fedilink source parent [–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Agreed there, but its still a source control platform. Its still git. I'd argue the code is the most important part and followers, subscribers and stars (whatever those may do) are a secundairy functionality that a developer doesnt necesarily care about. The most important part is the git repo and everything linked with it imo permalink fedilink source parent
