There's some panic in the air over Microsoft courting Github. | |
Alarmists are pulling their projects down, moving to self-hosted | |
Gitlab instances and so on. I'm confused by the whole thing, | |
though. Git isn't github. My repos aren't property of github, even | |
if it's one of the remotes. I have everything up there mirrored in | |
several remote locations. That's the beauty of git! It's | |
distributed. Every repo is the complete repo. | |
orbifx summarized it best over here [0]. | |
[0] Decentralised Git | |
This gopher hole is a great example. It's currently located: | |
- on this laptop I'm writing on | |
- on gopher.black (raspberry pi) | |
- on SDF | |
- on Tilde.town | |
- on bitbucket.org | |
- on my macbook air at work | |
- on a backup tower at work | |
- on my PC in a VM in VirtualBox | |
- and probably some other places I forgot about | |
I think the lesson here for people shouldn't be to fear Microsoft | |
nabbing Github. The lesson should be, distribute your shit, | |
people! Use git for awesome. |
