You know, it's hard for me to admit, but I kind of like what Microsoft has been doing with GitHub lately

such as?
not denying, just curious

While I don't disagree, I think gitlab has surpassed github now. I only use github when I'm required to because I feel better supporting the open source platform over the closed source.

If it wasn't for company repos being in github, I would have no reason to use it.

GitLab offers everything you need built in from repo, teams, permissions, CI/CD pipelines with a simple .yaml file and away you go.

If I could get away with it I would port the repos I work with out to GitLab and setup my workflow over there instead.

@erandria the free private repos, CI (actions), and the newly announced package hosting

@bohr yeah I was nervous when they acquired GitHub, but then they made private repos free and added the other features you mentioned. I didn't believe them when they said Microsoft was embracing open source, but apparently they weren't lying.

@EmberQuill free organization are not allowed to have private repo now 😢

@devTea they're supporting open source, but only from individuals I guess

@Techno-Wizard I think the logic is to only fine those groups which don't want to make their code public. Open source organizations should be fine with public repos.

@Mbithy it was free when they announced free private repo, then they close it afterwards, I have 1 private repo on that organization

@Techno-Wizard Gitlab has been ahead of Github for several years

The current alternative to gitlab from Microsoft is the combination of GitHub + azure devops, now we can integrate the azure pipelines to github projects
