Let’s be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn’t switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven’t yet. Why?

      They’re just a monopoly and could easily pull a Unity, Twitter, Reddit, or whatever other big service exists.

      It’s the implication

        Yep. I’m a very happy GitHub user, with my finger idling near the eject button since they’re a prime candidate to pull a Unity.

        Like what?

        • OCI registry? GitLab.
        • pull request model? Every one of the competing services
        • CI/CD system based on YAML definitions? Most every competitor.
        • static site hosting? Most competitors
        • protected branches? Most competitors

        I’m not saying there isn’t vendor lock-in, but I am saying it likely isn’t the features of GitHub that are limiting that. Third party integrations will follow wherever the foot traffic goes.
