What's your opinion about that? Will you continue using GitHub?
Well, MS already contributes big time to many open-source
projects, including Git.
I do not see immanent problem with them buying it.
Both GitLab and Bitbucket can be used instead to host your D
projects - dub registry supported them for a while now.
Both are fine, though Gitlab seems more sexy now.
IMHO Microsoft isn't the type of company I want to see behind
the GitHub. Maybe I am wrong since Microsoft has both money and
programmers to improve it further, I just don't trust them too
much which is the right thing to do when dealing with companies.
Would you trust Google? Me, I’m not.
In fact if we were to place trust, comercial IT companies would
be pretty down on my list of “trust” in any case.
This means that I will move my repositories elsewhere and use
GitHub just to contribute to other projects.
