I'm not a developer so I'm not very familiar with this world. But it kind of amazes me that the code for so many open source projects are hosted by Microsoft. Isn't there a FOSS alternative? edit: seems Gitlab is an alternative. Then the question is, why are people using microsoft products?

antrosapien OP ,

Github started independently and was amazing service(and still is except now its going downhill) but Microsoft acquired it it 2018

Codeberg.org is the ethical choice

The power of git ( the backbone of github ) comes in that you can easily take a repository and move it to a different server. Its like, 3 commands? ( git vlone, git add remote, git push ). So if people would leave github, nothing is lost :)

Compared to Gitlab, it definitely is shit already. And that has nothing to do with the artificial restrictions. God I hate this website. I appreciate their service, but the UI is genuinely trash.
