How are you gonna migrate issues and actions?

I'm not sure about actions, but GitLab[1] and BitBucket[2] have the ability to import issues. [1]: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/github.html [2]: https://confluence.atlassian.com/get-started-with-bitbucket/...

Thanks for sharing this, I'm a GitLab community advocate, and wanted to see if you'd like to join our #GitChallenge - You share a review of GitLab vs GitHub (whether positive/negative/neutral), and we send you some swag. More info if you're interested: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/04/14/github-free-for-tea...

Great to hear that! One last thing that would make Github a better alternative to Gitlab for teams is the self-hosted runners for organizations IMO.

Thanks for sharing this feedback, we're doing a #GitChallenge right now (I'm a community advocate at GitLab) asking community members to send us reviews of GitLab vs GitHub (whether positive/negative/neutral) https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/04/14/github-free-for-tea...

We'll have a beta next month, and should ship this summer.

Oh thank god. I was getting close to jumping ship to GitLab, which supposedly has toptier CICD stuff. Now I can at least compare the two.

Let us know how your comparison goes - we're doing a challenge asking community members to compare both tools and share their responses for some swag. I'm a community advocate at GitLab. This blog post outlines more of the challenge if you'd like to participate: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/04/14/github-free-for-tea...

Hi HN, I'm the CEO of GitHub. Everyone at GitHub is really excited about this announcement, and I'm happy to answer any questions. We've wanted to make this change for the last 18 months, but needed our Enterprise business to be big enough to enable the free use of GitHub by the rest of the world. I'm happy to say that it's grown dramatically in the last year, and so we're able to make GitHub free for teams that don'…

Can you explain what happened to Atom development? I've seen numerous posts noting the sharp decline in contribution soon after the acquisition was announced. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22601451 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21142934 Without an official explanation, given the timing, it'd be reasonable to assume you pulled development resources away from it, the exact thing you actually went on Reddi…

This is the second time I've seen a comment from you complaining about Atom development when an unrelated Github article is posted. What's the purpose of these posts? Do you expect Github to start funding active development of Atom again?

If not, what's the goal of the complaints? I.e. why do you keep bringing this up if you know this is water under the bridge?

I'm a github user, though I wouldn't call myself a fan exactly, and I don't really know how "teams" works or why it's valuable. I came to this thread to learn more, and I find your comments grousing about Atom again. Hence my question.

We're living with transparent juridical system and it works fine. Imagine that you could be thrown to jail without explaining a reason. That would be outrageous.

> transparent juridical system and it works fine Yeah, criminals are always arrested and convicted. /s It's a balance. With something as essential as human rights and personal freedom, people (tend to) err on the safe side. Online moderation can err on the other side, since consequences are relatively modest. If you get banned on GH, move to Gitlab or host your own, that's hardly a tragedy.

Exactly. Screw around and try to game/skirt the law IRL and the risk is way too high that you'll goto jail anyway. There are usually no consequences for doing this online.

Forgive the skeptic in me: from the outside, it looks like MS is pushing GH to copy features that people use GitLab for right now - how much of this is "we're going to move into GL's space" vs. "this is our own thing"?

(because I'm sure MS wouldn't mind if GL's IPO went less than swimmingly because GH duplicated a number of their selling points "for free" ("for now"))

> I can see how GitHub wouldn't want a public repo to have objectionable words I can't. Does GitHub really have nothing better to do than to play nanny cop because I used a naughty word in my code? Are brainfuck interpreters now off-limits? How about drivers for teledildonics hardware? Or libraries specifically for detecting and filtering swear words? Or maybe I just want to vent a bit in a comment every once in awhi…

We named our meatballs a old british name. This was why we got nuked. If only we knew that 4 days ago when we first got banned, and not, well, 4 days later. The issue is github works by report only. You can do what ever you want in a github repo, but if you make a video game on github, and ban the wrong person, they can just go through your repo and look for ToS violations to troll you. We are literally removing the…

https://github.com/search?q=faggot

And taking this to its logical conclusion

https://github.com/search?q=nigger

(And "kudos", I guess, to https://github.com/Zveu/NiggerFaggot for managing to pop up in both)

If using a naughty word is indeed a ToS violation, GitHub is rather arbitrary in its enforcement thereof. Like, is a Microsoft-owned corporation and the hub for the vast majority of FOSS development nowadays really unable to run its own search function and detect blatant racial and orientational slurs? Or maybe they banned their own profanity filter, lol

This should be the overriding concern of everyone in this forum.

You must be enjoying quarantine, because if your ethical horse is up this high you must not be able to leave the house without encountering "qualms"

If you think I hold you all to a higher standard than I hold myself, you're mistaken. I have never been able to leave the house without encountering qualms. The world around me is an interconnected weave. Denying that fact only makes it easer to live a very particularly worthless kind of life.

Not compartmentalising is trickier than you imply, as the whole corporate-capitalist system of power (which supplies nearly all of your and my goods) depends at its root on current exploitation and drawing down on its investment in future destruction (of the entire biosphere). We can point fingers at many hideous individual corporate citizens in tech (Dropbox & Amazon spring immediately to mind, current Microsoft doe…

> hideous individual corporate citizens

I agree with you, that pointing fingers like is useless. We very quickly run out of fingers.

> I'm for revolution to take it all down.

I wonder what you mean by that.

Hi Nat, ICE kidnaps children and forces their captives to live in unsafe, inhumane, over-crowded conditions in the middle of a global pandemic. Why do you work with them?

Github donated the money ICE paid them to charities that are directly counteracting the bad things ICE is doing. Isn't that clearly better than just forcing ICE to install Gitlab?

One step forward, and one step back, is not two steps forward.
