Questions Rephrased: 1. Should we begin to think about alternatives to source code hosting services like GitHub and GitLab?
I'd say that's every developer's own decision. Or, to rephrase: who is "we"? And which git repositories does this "we" produce? Fortunately, due to git's inherent distributed approach, if github kicks me out (or just annoys me too much with $WHATEVERTHEYDO), then I just push my repo to some other hosting service, or just host my own git repo server. So for my small, unimportant projects, github.com's free hosting is still "good enough" for me. But yes, I'll certainly look for other options for future projects. Addendum: Because I know it is always possible that $company closes my account for whatever reason, I'm trying to use as little of their "addon cream" as possible. Github issues / ci workflows, whatever? I'm not using it much and thus I will not miss it (or it will be only a minor oain). The "raw" git repo data is what's important for me. And that can easily be pushed anywhere. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
