Fine with me, strongly recommend git - anyway, it is already a fact that it is the de-facto standard, so this is a non-argument. My argument is for those developers who might have other ways/interests. > Maybe you could at least consider moving away from Github, and switch to > a platform based on free software? For example own gitlab instance. Or Why? All the data is in the git commits and tags. I don't use anything else there, in particular not issues etc. So what is your concern besides "religious" github hating? > anything else. I'm really bothered by Github, like a few of us are. So be it, but don't put *your* bothering onto others. I am bothered by a lot of things, too, and I don't ask you to be bothered the same way.
