Why the FUCK do people still use Github?

>>59052747
It's the only one normalfags know about.

>>59052747
Because it has the best integrations/support/community

>>59052747
It's the standard.

But it's not a matter of a switching from a GUI to a CLI for the first time.

This is technically savvy users choosing the clearly inferior product.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about

I think thats pretty inexcusable, but one big perk about GitLab is that it is self hostable.

That was a failure of them as a host, not of the GitLab software itself.

I just found out about the github edu shit.
Do i have to put my real name in the name field or can i just use my username?

>>59052747
Because employers ask for GitHub profiles

I thought it was the sysadmin being careless with the commands issued to the servers that caused the massive loss.

>but one big perk about GitLab is that it is self hostable.
I tried hosting gitlab once but then I realized that it's a meme written in ruby that requires several gigabytes of ram to work properly.
Then I installed gogs (a meme written in go) instead because all I needed was a simple web interface for a few repos.

>>59053003
this.
github came first so its going to have the greater influence, despite how inferior it is.

it's not all bad.
just use github for your public portfolio and bitbucket for your private projects.

>>59052747
github is good meme shit for resumes. gitlab is good but they blew a bunch of shit away, that was scary.
never tried bit bucket.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/white_list
"Whitelisting" and "Blacklisting" are industry accepted terms and standard terms are needed when you are explaining something to a colleague across the country or planet.

Once you change a term to something else, you will now need to settle what that new term will be.
This is a painful process that will take years to be smoothed out. Some will use other terms like "ignorelist" or "blocklist" and others will develop their own terms.

Combined with the retrofitting of old source code to "Comply" with the new PC standard.

You now have a massive problem created for the sole protection of "feefees"

> including Linus
linus hates it

do github employees inspects your repo?

I'm a total pleb, can someone please spoonfeed me reasons NOT to use gitlab/bitbucket over github? I assume employers want to see github because that's what they know and what they probably use themselves.

>>59059808
just host your own git repo using whatever software you choose
stop letting random dudes be in charge of your stuff

You're a fool if you're hosting your code on a third-party website. GitHub, gitlab, etc.

It's so simple to set up a secure ssh-only GoT instance on your own server. And there's at least two easy to use configuration systems where you configure groups and other admin tasks through GoT submissions.

A third-party public repository does make sense for public open source projects where you want to encourage others to use and contribute to your code.

But hosting anything that you want to make money off of or keepnfrom your competitors is just plain foolish. Even though it's been 5years since a data breach at github you should expect it to happen again.

>>59060020
I don't even like GoT. Vikings is better. I mean git of course.
