You can use the hosted version in Gitlab for free (even for private repos) - or pay for versions with more project management features. Alternatively you can also self-host. Migration from github to gitlab is pretty trivial. I however, still really like GitHub and although I would take into consideration Neil's comments earlier there's no reason to panic. There are a multitude of services out there to move to if need be. My opinion is to keep using the great service github offers for now to the fullest and worry about migration if necessary. -- Paulo Matos -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

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.

I’m travelling so haven’t been able to properly read the discussion :( I do want to add: A) Keep local git repos (backups) on storage you control- this is important as you never know when you will lose access to a data centre (github, gitlab, Amazon, azure, iCloud , Dropbox , etc.) B) I know similar tagging etc can be done on gitlab and other git-services - if anyone can provide the relevant advice that would be appreciated.

[racket-users] on-boarding new racketeers
Hi, I've been thinking about small things that can be done to lower the barriers to entry to the racket community, and I've come up with some ideas! 1. Adopts the standard GitHub set of issue labels* for all active repositories, only deviating where necessary. Benefit - This would allow potential contributors to easily identify issues by their labels or the GitHub 'contribute link: e.g. https://github.com/standard-fish/summer-competititon-2019/contribute Downside - needs to be done manually through the labels page https://github.com/[owner]/[repository]/labels e.g. https://github.com/standard-fish/summer-competititon-2019/labels 2. Adopt standard issue templates for 'good first issue', 'documentation' & 'enhancement' e.g. I've created some examples at but they are not ready for use in that the are incomplete and/or wrong: https://github.com/standard-fish/summer-competititon-2019/tree/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ Benefits: a) would allow the quick logging of issues with the correct labels b) would guide contributors to log issues with relevant issues so the respective owners can triage them quickly NB as these are files that are easy to add via a pull request - no 'owner only' ui like (1). 3. if you are a repository owner please apply labels to existing issues (especially 'good first issue') - even if the descriptions are not great. 4. if you have a 'good first issue', but don't have time to action it - just log it and leave it. that was it is not forgotten and someone can find it. 5. Put the location of the scribble source file at the beginning of every scribble file because it is really hard to find the location of scribble source; 'Quick: An Introduction to Racket with Pictures' is in the slideshow repo: https://github.com/racket/slideshow/blob/master/slideshow-doc/scribblings/quick/quick.scrbl it is worse when one scribble file inlines another. I think this are small steps will make it easier for new racketeers to get started and existing contributors not to get fatigued. Please let me know what you think Kind regards, Stephen --- * standard GitHub set of issue labels: - bug - Something isn't working - documentation - Improvements or additions to documentation - duplicate - This issue or pull request already exists - enhancement - New feature or request - good first issue - Good for newcomers - help wanted - Extra attention is needed - invalid - This doesn't seem right - question - Further information is requested - wontfix - This will not be worked on -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
