Git
June 03rd, 2018
----------------------------------------
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.

[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.
