I dont post my code to gitlab because I would rather use codeberg
We are not the same
You can also use GitHub as a mirror to make your project more discoverable
I post company proprietary code to github by accident, we're not the same.
Someone did that at the company I used to work for. IIRC, no one noticed for months.
I don´t post code to github because it's a microsoft company.
codeberg, self-hosted gitlab, gitea/forgejo, ~~sourceforge~~
Didn't sourceforge go to shit some years back with ads, embedding bloatware into downloads, and I don't remember what else? Did it get better again?
It did, but the interface is still dogshit for new users and it's impossible to know how to access a project's page or its download page. When I started using GitHub, I didn't even realize that SourceForge was a git hub for a fucking while, yet I was still downloading stuff from there.
i didnt realize that but you can ignore that one
I got one star on my repo so i immediately privated it
Shit that's brutal
i post my code to github so ppl will fix it for me because im just a artist
You don’t passt your code because you’re embarrassed by it.
I don’t post my code to github because i don’t use proprietary garbage.
We are not the same.
You don't post your code to GitHub because you don't use proprietary garbage.
I don't post my code to GitHub because I selfhost my own Forgejo instance.
We are not the same.
You don't post you code to GitHub because you self host you something or other
I don't post any code to GitHub cos I don't code and I'm not really sure what's going on
Are we the same? Idk
I don't post code to GitHub because I get paid to code, and I'm too lazy to do more.
And my code probably sucks.
User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.
The best part of Lemmy is the low userbase in comparison means it's easier to be original and not try and say the same thing a hundred times.
Amen! There's plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don't miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it's not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy "I can't believe it's not Reddit" and hire Fabio to do a commercial.
Many people here seem to have very strong opinions about GitHub :D
GitHub has private repositories for both of you.
I'd bet that AI still gets to appropriate it as its "own" creation.
Oh, that's the next excuse i'll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. "i'm protecting my product".
I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.
I'm not a professional dev. So I don't care what anyone else thinks, it's not gonna affect my job prospects. So I publish all my shit code for the world to see.
Post it if it provides functions not found anywhere else. I can't give less fuck to code quality if it does the work for that absurd user requirement for me.
Any good alternatives for GitHub you can recommend?
Codeberg, Forgejo, Gittea, Gitlab,
Bitbucket, azure dev ops
gitlab, self-hosted gitea instance, codeberg
Yeah
Dunning Kruger baby wooo 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Yep, this is why I run forgejo internally and have zero intention of exposing it to the public.
The first rule about no Github club is that we don't talk about no Github club
I post my code to GitHub so when I'm eventually good enough to get a job I can pretend I'm hardworking by having lots of commits in private repos.
git commit -m "Added a new string to X class."
I post to GitHub because I am GitHub
