    Github is pretty amazing, better than Gitlab or Forgejo imo, however, fuck Microsoft.

      Why is GitHub better than GitLab? Did I miss something big or are you refering to smaller differences in function? I thought GitLab offered basically the same core functionality as GitHub.

        the interface is not near as slow and clunky IMO, and it’s always broken when using JShelter extension for me

        I’m impressed it hasn’t become a bloated copilot mess like all other Microsoft products have. It’s still relatively as quick and functional as it’s ever been.

        I wouldn’t say it’s perfect. Definitely not. But it’s definitely on the highest end of Microsoft owned products.

        Probably because it’s very similar to how it was before they bought it.

        I primarily do not use it for development though. So take that with a grain of salt. Some small projects I contribute to still.

          Better in what way?

          There are certainly others but … git is the defacto standard for a reason.

          There are certainly use cases for others, just wondering what you mean?

            1. Git is for bazaar-style development. However, most of my own projects are cathedral-style.
            2. Git’s default user experience (CLI command syntax, for example) is weird. There are reasons why Git GUIs are popular and (e.g.) SVN GUIs never were.
            3. Git is rather spammy in terms of hard disk usage.
