Microsoft, what are you up to with GitHub?

Honestly, it was our mistake to put all the eggs in one basket. What else was everyone expecting?

Two of GH's features that remain unreplicated are project discoverability and code search. It's still hard to discover FOSS projects scattered over hundreds of sites. There should be a single dedicated catalog.

As for search, perhaps each forge can index projects hosted on them. We could have a single meta search engine that collects the results for a query from all participating forges.

My only thought is to wonder at the number of people who'll complain about this and then keep their repos there anyway. Just switch to GitLab! https://about.gitlab.com/

The DevSecOps Platform

From planning to production, bring teams together in one application. Ship secure code more efficiently to deliver value faster.

I never really understood why so many people stayed on #github after the #microsoft acquisition. Maybe now is the time to move to #gitlab or even something like #gitea or #codeberg. 🤔
