How quickly things change. I read this as “poor Gitlab had to use whatever janky crap Google can put together” - never mind that Google was a leader in the AI space for years. They completely missed this boat and are instantly looking out of touch.

After 5 years of using gitlab, we’re planning to switch back to GitHub exactly because of copilot and the Polish of their other features. The only hesitation is the SSO tax.

Gitlab cannot compete alone with Github copilot and their other AI offerings, so they bring in Google. Smart, if obvious, move.

Github gets bought by MS, GitLab gets bought by Google. Who gets bought by Amazon?

Bitbucket i.e. Atlassian?

What does repo being on github have to do with copilot? Free copilot licenses for OSS?

Why not self-host Forgejo or cgit? Or use Codeberg or SourceHut? There's no reason to eat from the Microsoft hand that his historically always came back to bite developers.

Copilot, Issues and Actions, all symptoms that GitHub is forging ahead and building features that are well thought out and well integrated.

Ironically, CI/CD and issues being well integrated were the reasons we switched to GitLab in the first place. But since then we stopped using issues.

CoPilot X will help write PR descriptions, some code review, etc. All those things are on top of just hosting the repo.
