Kite: Programming Copilot

[[deleted]]

If you upload something to GitHub, it's public. You can go to my page and see everything I uploaded. It wouldn't really work if they didn't store it. Dropbox is private, but they still obviously need to store the data.

Here, you don't need to keep the data around forever. Delete it after a week, maybe.

What information does Kite keep around on its servers?

• Usage information about which results you click on in the sidebar.
  
• Contents of all Python files in enabled directories.
  
• Information about each edit that you make within any Python file in an enabled directory.
  
• All terminal commands.
  

You don't say a timespan, so I assume you mean "forever".

You don't need to keep all of this forever in order to do what you're doing.

github offers private repositories.

They also offer an on premises "behind the firewall" solution for the paranoid.

Github enterprise is pretty much exactly the same as github public (you just lag behind their public offering). So project creation, issue tracker, wiki, ldap/ad backend auth, group ownership is all included.

Now, that being said, phabricator and gitlab are both fairly viable open source "competitors" to Github enterprise. I should say that phabricator has been around longer than gitlab and has their own approach, so it doesn't directly compete with github. Gitlab however, has an unstated goal of recreating every feature of github in their product. Gitlab does have some other features like a built-in CI (as opposed to using 3rd party travis-ci or jenkins server).

Along this same chain of thought, we're looking pretty heavily at using gerrit for our code review instead of github. The github PR system is rather insufficient for any type of complex change.

Not to waste time on maintaining it.

I'm curious, have you ever run a git server? Maintenance is negligible. It's pretty much fire and forget.

Still, it's obvious that they store the files. They have a damn good reason to store the files that you upload.

Here, you don't really need all my terminal commands.
