It also encourages nice docs and other things newbies need (does not really matter for some backend thing like unicorn). Sure crazy snowflakes like linux kernel might need something different, but most other giant and small projects do just fine. This discussion is going nowhere, so let's just stop now ;) On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 4:26 PM, Daniel Evans wrote: > This brings back memories of the BitKeeper debacle with the Linux kernel. > One of the reasons git exists is because a large open source project trusted > a proprietary product and it got ripped out from underneath them. > > On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 5:12 PM, Michael Grosser wrote: >> >> Patch coming soon, already pinpointed it, just wanted to look at the >> issues to see if someone already solved it when I noticed that it's >> not on github. >> >> But yeah otherwise, use whatever you like, chances are you do the most >> work here anyway ;) >> >> As far as I am concerned any other OS/self-hosted tool like gitlab etc >> would also be an improvement. >> >> On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 4:09 PM, Xavier Noria wrote: >> > Guys, Eric has obviously made a conscious choice by not hosting the source >> > code on GitHub, and his rationale is clear. >> > >> > Eric I for one respect and understand your point of view, and think you have >> > the right to do whatever you want with your projects.
