Why? I want to understand why? Out of principle? I think some services just end up becoming foundational and we need to move on to other things for other things e.g if we're going to replace GitHub it's because we're creating new habits. Not because we're replacing like for like. That never works. What is a new code hosting platform offering. You know what, pair it with some app dev and great, now you've got something. But just hosting elsewhere it's got to be a major step change the way GitHub was from sourceforge and self hosting. Inherently the social aspects drove that and the power of git. Personally I think you have to intertwine the code hosting with app development using agents like a Google doc. Commits everytime there is a change. Every prompt creates a commit. I don't know. We don't need to reinvent the wheel for nothing.

Geopolitics is a reason. Many individuals and companies are scrambling for safe alternatives to US tech. I live in Norway and there is a lot of this going on.

Why does this post exist? I assume because of the Copilot story that's also trending and the subsequent loss of trust. Not sure if Github has serious alternatives, but the desire to move is not for 'nothing'.

For me its providing uptime. Github is barely reaching one nine of availability these days.
