#172Can someone in GitHub senior leadership please start paying attention and reprioritise towards actually delivering a product that's at least relatively reliable? I moved my company over to GH enterprise last year (from AzDO) and I'm considering moving us away to another vendor altogether as a result of the constant partial outages. Things that used to "just work" now are slow in the UI, and GH actions fail to schedul…
As an aside, God, Azure DevOps, what a total pile of crap that product is My "favourite" restriction that an Azure DevOps PR description is limited to a pathetic 4000 characters.
My favorite is that it doesn't support ed25519 ssh keys.

#173Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've been a GitHub user since the very early days. I had a beta invite to the service. I really wish they didn't swap out the FE for a React FE. They need to start rolling back some of their most recent changes. I mean, if they want people to start moving to self hosted GitLab, this is gonna get that ball rolling.
GitLab is slower for me than that React GH app. Why would I move to GitLab?
Was this a local/on prem version of GL or the hosted web version?
My previous org had an on prem version hosted on a local VM. It was extremely fast, we setup another VM for the runners, and one for storing all the docker containers. The thing I’ve seen people do it use the VM they put their gitlab instance on for everything and ends up bogging things down quite a bit.

#174At this point, GitHub outages feel closer to cloud provider outages than a SaaS blip. Curious how many people here still run self-hosted Git (GitLab / Gitea) vs fully outsourcing version control.
We self-host the full fat version of GitLab and it's very worth it.

#175I consider moving away from Github, but I need a solid CI solution, and ideally a container registry as well. Would totally pay for a solution that just works . Any good recommendations?
GitLab has all the things.

I second this. GitHub used to be a fantastic product. Now it barely even works. Even basic functionality like the timeline updating when I push commits is unreliable. The other day I opened a PR diff (not even a particularly large one) and it took fully 15 seconds after the page visually finished loading -- on a $2,000 dev machine -- before any UI elements became clickable. This happened repeatedly. It is fairly stun…
This is just microsoft doing the only thing they know, which is taking a good product and turning it into a monster by bashing out whatever feature is on some investors mind that barely even work in a isolated vacuum-sealed test chamber. All microsoft producs are like bad experiments.

I wonder how many engineers have even worked on a git repo with multiple remotes. I’ve only worked on a team once where we all were set up as remotes to each other and that was over a decade ago.
hg really spoiled us with these features, though I also haven't used them in ages
We actually did it with raw git in the cli, but I doubt I could set that up correctly nowadays without pouring over the man pages again.

#180My company just migrated to GitHub, and it's been a shockingly bad experience. BitBucket never felt like anything more than a tool that did the job, but now I really miss it.
