Looks like microsoft is buying github for billions. I will be leaving github because of this. They’re trying to buy love. Developer love. Money can’t buy you love. Everyone knows that. So long github. I wonder if Godot will stay there.
Is it possible to download the issue database from github?
People say gitlab is better but it looks identical to me and it’s almost all open source which github is not. Gitlab looks like it is tied to google.
What are some other options? I might just run my own git server and then other git projects can pull/push from that.
Growing tired of all this consolidation. “One ring to rule them all.”
Update #1:
- I posted this the night before it was officially announced, but
looked like a done deal, and we know it was now. - Gitlab runs on azure so it’s partly “ownd” by M$ already.
- Migrating code from github to gitlab is super simple and super fast.
- Gitlab has opened up premium features for free accounts
- cgit is used by kernel.org and seems simple, fast, small and reliable.
Godot is fine with M$, it even has C# support, so it will most likely stay.
M$ even made a donation for Godot. I’m sure it has nothing to do with C# support!

It’s all git, Migrating can be done easily on gitlab/gitgud. All you need to do is click the new project, import project, VIA Github (if your signed up), or git link.

I have already established a disconnected fork on gitgud. lavaduder / godot · GitLab . Though I have no intention of going “LIRBE!!!” “FORK IT!!!” It’s there if wanted by a different userface.
I’m sure sourceforge, and bitbucket are the same. kidscancode pointed out sf has one. Feel free to make an unofficial “fork”.

FYI, there is an official Godot repo on Gitlab: godotengine / godot · GitLab

@hilfazer one must be careful when making deals with M$. They are not worthy of trust and have proven it many times and continue to. Hopefully Godot knows this.
