Git manages the source repository. And every source-code user has a copy of that; it's how git works. So there's no problem keeping that safe from a github lock-in. Annoyingly, if you're working on two different issues, you end up having to have two local copies of the repository. Monotone did that better, but everyone is using git instead. Much the way people are still using inferior rogramming languages. But there's also the issue tracking. How easy is it to export that from github and install it on another system? And there is an MIT-licenced alternative to github showing up soon: gitea. They let you use your own machines instead of theirs. https://gitea.io/en-us/ or https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/ -- hendrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
