I won't trust Harness with anything open source. It's the same company that killed the open source Drone CI after acquiring it. They changed the license such that you could contribute to it but could not use it if your revenue was more than 1 million USD. They didn't fix bugs that were well known to them because they were working on the enterprise version of it.

#42Oh, the typical TechCrunch crap again - this is NOT a GitHub competitor!

#43It is interesting how many teams and even large businesses fall into the github/gitlab/atlassian trap. I worked for a couple that spend a shit-ton of money to have some measure of "cloud agnostics" while they throw out their Jenkins servers and they migrate all of their cicd to github, gitlab or atlassian. With github it is a SaaS service. With Gitlab, they have an "enterprise" version. In quotes because the "enterprise" version has no scaling support. You can't run more than one active node. And if you use their special "geo" feature for read only nodes they can't run cicd. It is really ridiculous any large business would migrate from a couple of fleets of Jenkins to this. But hey, gotta do what business decided to do.

#44I hate to focus on this, but the website, https://gitness.com/, is absolutely horrible. Especially on mobile. The scrolljacking seems outright hostile and the entire site feels janky and broken. You don't need scrolljacking to provide a compelling or visually differentiated design experience.

That's kind of an unfair advantage for github. I'm pretty sure that many beginners think that git == github.
Wonder how that would have shaken out, had MS bought GH in 2013 instead of 2018.

#46Gitness. Silly name, sounds like and adjective and is only a letter away from gitless .
Good name.

I was looking for the code and that "Star us on GitHub" link isn't great. I want to see the code, not star the repo; is that link going to star the repo?
(it doesn't, is just a link to the github repo)

#48Thye aren't really competing with GitHub, which is more of consumer tool, but more with the enterprise focused GitLab which bundles CI/CD along with code hosting and bunch of other things.
Their focus is primarilily on Enterprise developer needs and bundling CI/CD, Internal Developer Platforms, Security, Compliance and now code hosting. They want to be the one shop for everything developer experience inside an enterprise.

#49Is dark mode available or am I overlooking it?
Pretty impressive so far, the pipeline tool is surprisingly robust already.
"gist-like" snippet management would be awesome in this.
