Quoted post unavailable.

GitHub didn’t impose any requirement to use ‘main’ as the default branch. We merely changed the default for new repos unless the user or org has configured otherwise. Nothing about that (optional) change would have required any company to change any of what you listed.

No post body was provided.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When my organization uses a Microsoft video conferencing product, we use Teams, not "Skype for Business". I have no idea why, as I don't schedule the meetings, but I can say that I can't imagine something sucking worse than Teams.

Teams is the worst. I constantly miss messages, the video calling feature randomly freezes videos of participants, and sometimes my audio doesn't work for no apparent reason. Their Wiki feature sucks, too.

It's also a CPU hog. Why can I watch a 4K video in VLC for hours, but throwing up a couple of 200x100 windows in Teams kills the CPU? I guess Teams is written by interns.

What we need is some kind of distributed version control system, then this would never happen.

Ideally it'd be a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, but I think that's just unrealistic.

I just think about why would they force video conferencing into SharePoint?

After the incident yesterday I sent an email to GH sales to talk about moving to on-prem enterprise so we don't have to go down with the rest of the boat. Still waiting on that callback/reply. Starting to wonder if Microsoft even wants our money anymore.

Last year, we were investigating if we wanted to go with GitHub or GitLab on-prem. EU company, they don't sell directly and forwarded us to some EU vendor (strange, but whatever). We were never able to get a proper quote. While I, personally, love GitLab, it wasn't hard to convince other people in the team: we installed the free version, played around, bought a license.

I still have no idea how much the final quote for GitHub could have been.
