I think many of the concerns are valid, but I'm not sure I'd read too much into the name of the absorbing org. Org names at Microsoft end up being misaligned and unintuitive all the time.
GitLab is like, really good. No need to put your codebase in the "cloud."
Looks like I made the right move

If you only need Git plus project tracking Gitea is super mature. It runs happily on small VPS.
> GitHub moving into Core AI team On the one hand, this probably means it gets the funding it needs to keep going strong. On the other hand, I'm worried that this means that GitHub is going to focus exclusively on building AI features while the core product becomes stale/abandoned.
$ git commit
The git command has been changed to bob, please type 'bob commit' to commit.
GitHub will now fall under Microsoft's CoreAI team, which give some indication of GitHub's purpose and direction going forward.
We could barely convince the reviewers on the last review that using GitHub is okay as long as we take some extra steps, I guess we should prepare to switch to a different platform with the next review.

Damn. I remember being heavily downvoted and flamed when I said this would be the inevitable outcome on Reddit when they were bought. Always assume anyone carrying water for a mega corp is a shill or a bot or some combo.
I moved to GitLab a year or so ago. It’s been great, I actually prefer GitLab ci
I expect this will continue indefinitely until the product becomes little more than an AI training corpus and genericized trademark, similar to how our Xerox machines at work are actually made by Brother, while Xerox the actual brand has faded into obsolescence.
I will note that we don't use many of the CI/CD/issue tracking/wiki/etc. features, though both Github and Gitlab offer them. I'm sure they have their own particular quirks that may be a hassle to migrate between and have people relearn. I prefer to keep those tools separate, allowing the git repository be almost exclusively a git repository and spinning up other tools as needed.
Expect Github to get worse. Much worse.
What more damage can they do besides train AI on all code without consent? Oh wait i guess fisting ads into other peoples code somehow...
Look at the some of the AI slop curl deals with -- https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/07/14/death-by-a-thousand-s... -- and imagine your issues list filled with that.
