Questions about the proposed workflow
It seems pretty hypocritical to be against GitHub because it's proprietary and hosted by a company that can sell your data (both things I've seen
[D. Stufft] people say against GitHub) and be pro GitLab EE [...] Only in the abstract. GitHub has an reported investment of 350.000.000, while GitLab only has a very small fraction of that. If selling private repos doesn't justify that kind of money, it's pretty clear what will happen! To be fair, GitLab also has a rudimentary version of the annoying per-developer statistics. I'm also not claiming that GitHub already has a secret business plan to turn evil -- development there seems to be a bit ad hoc, meandering and informal. The point is that they may *have* to turn evil, because the private repo market simply isn't big enough. Lastly, GitHub is to my knowledge the only one of RhodeCode, GitLab, etc. that had at least one absolutely glaring own-the-world (write access to all repos) security hole. Stefan Krah
Reminder that Github existed many years before they took outside investments and they were successful and profitable long before they did. They took investment to expand an already profitable company into enterprise, not to cover expenses while they figured out how to make money. Sent from my iPhone

This line of argument about what GitHub *might *do if they run out of money is not persuading me in the slightest, so I consider this line of argument closed. On Sat, 12 Dec 2015 at 11:07 Donald Stufft <donald@stufft.io> wrote:
