> On git only: what is another remote? A remote is a URL location of a repository. A local git repo can point to multiple remotes by using the git remote functionality. For instance, you can point your local repo to GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket and choose which to push to using the command git push .
Hem, no perhaps is my poor English but you do not understand: I know what a git remote is. My point is what kind of "other remote" a typical FOSS project have these days? In the past we have tons of hosters so we can easily spread our code in many "mirror", now there is GitHub and few others, mostly on the very same "cloud". I mean you have no damn viable remote. Single devs can share code P2P but nothing that can wo…

In the context of the original comment, think: "setup a /second/ remote" as the meaning. If the first 'remote' is github, the second remote could be gitlab, and so forth.
Re: Announcing unlimited free private repos
#423A lot of people are concerned about the “what if they make me the product since I’m no longer paying.” A few reasons I don’t think that will happen: - private, single contributor repos tend to be pretty small. it costs Github very little to service a single account. - Github is a growing social network for developers. Getting young engineers on the platform for free will pay off handsomely when they join a team and a…

Yeah, but it's only the case up until you graduate, at that point you are forced to pay or move out.
I'm one of them that moved to Gitlab afterward and right now I currently hesitate to go back to Github, even if its free.

#424So, when I go to downgrade my Pro account to the Free tier, it warns me: > You will no longer have access to unlimited collaborators or advanced code review tools in private repositories. > You will still have access to unlimited private repositories. So it seems some functionality beyond just unlimited collaborators that is tied to the Pro account - but the blog post makes no mention of what these "advanced code rev…
Hi! I work at GitHub. All the details are listed on the official pricing page in the feature comparison section: https://github.com/pricing and in the docs: https://help.github.com/articles/github-s-billing-plans/#bil...
Gotcha - the feature matrix clears it right up. Most of those features aren't very useful with the <4 collaborators on free private repositories anyway, so this makes perfect sense. Thanks :)

Azure Pipelines free offering is superior to Travis by every imaginable metric - UI latency, build latency, featureset, sane, carefully thought about YAML syntax, etc.
Their documentation seemed weird. It seemed like if you wanted to self-host your own CI builder with their agent, it was still limited to 1 parallel build on their free plan? Is that true? With Gitlab, if you bring your own runner, there's no limitation like that AFAIK (I've never done this yet because I never surpassed 2k build minutes a month) but I glanced their docs.
AFAIK one agent = one build. So just start several agents, they're only a few MB RAM

As someone who uses the paid Azure Pipelines agents I can say I really like it generally but their hosted build agent performance is ... adequate ... at best.
I noticed Travis builds complete faster once they're running, by something like 20% in my case, but that's more than offset by having twice as many parallel builds by default. Never dug into why it's slower, though, at a guess something to do with the filesystem
Re: Announcing unlimited free private repos
#427For those of you using GitLab, BitBucket, or , does this make you consider switching back at all? If so, why? It may be myopic, but the only major reason I can think of is visibility if you plan on publicizing the repo at some point. But you can achieve this by using GitHub as a mirror for your main repo on another platform (at least for GitLab, I’m not familiar with BitBucket). Edit: Personally, I use GitLab (both .…
> For those of you using GitLab, BitBucket, or , does this make you consider switching back at all? If so, why?
Absolutely, though I don't think it's really "switching back". I always preferred to use GitHub but had to use BitBucket for private repos. Now I don't need to bother with BitBucket.

Jun 4 2018: (microsoft acquisition) Github sucks!

Re: Announcing unlimited free private repos
#429It’s all about developers, developers. Microsoft is desperately trying to attract developers since many have left their platforms, GitHub doesn’t need to be profitable on it’s own for Microsofts sake

LinkedIn might be successful, but its ugliness and spammy nature is in stark contrast with Github.
It's currently in stark contrast with GitHub. I won't be at all surprised if I see in-your-face ads on GitHub in the near future. It's not like there isn't a precedent for it (hello, SourceForge).
You won't see ads on GitHub.
