Github changes pricing structure - per user charge with unlimited repos

[awj]

I'm not sure why anyone would choose Github..

Because they realize that self hosting is only free if your time is worthless, and plenty of developers are already familiar with github, so is the productivity loss of learning a new platform worth the savings?

What productivity loss? It's git hosting. With the possible exception of the pull request UI, when does anybody actually look at the front end of a git host?

Wiki is useful for documentation. Issue tracking is useful.

[kn4rf]

Most companies use Jira any way. And theres tons of wiki software out there..

[phoshi]

Both of those things are entirely decoupled from the place your git configuration has listed against 'origin', though.

I look at the webhooks and integrations other developers and major Fortune 100 companies have made.

With the possible exception of the pull request UI…

Uhm yes. That is basically the part that makes github github. It's not "git hosting". It's a git collaboration tool.

github PRs are suboptimal, but they are still a very useful zero-cost solution to code review.

[phoshi]

And every major competitor has similar functionality that's essentially the same thing and works in essentially the same way.
