Still 7.5 billion.

And GitLab has had over 10k repos imported from Github in the last 18 hours.

I'll be moving to GitLab later this week. But from Bitbucket.

If you want to watch, they make their Grafana stats public.

Bitbucket was just fine. But we are at the 5 dev limit. Not looking to hire immediately, but we are also needing to clean up our git structure and get everything more organized. So going to move to GitLab as part of the process.

That's always our thing. You start with like two developers but then someone wants access now and then and someone wants to verify code and it takes like zero effort to go over those five person limits.

Hopefully this goes the other way. Maybe they will have free private repos on Github now. As long as there is an import option on other services it doesn't really matter.

I have a feeling that GitHub usage and subscriptions will go up in spite of the wierdos leaving it just because Microsoft bought it.
-
Might even see some more features, uses, use-cases. Like @stacksofplates said, maybe even free private repos.

I can't blame them. Embrace, extend, extinguish is still fresh in people's minds. Earning trust is a lot harder than losing it.

Welp that sucks.

@stacksofplates Nokia as well. Think they paid about the same price too

Nokia was in bad shape before MS bought it. And the Nokia devices themselves are as good or better than before anyways. I'm not sure what everyone is referring to as how "MS ruined Nokia"... how?
-
@obsolesce MS bought their mobile division, then layed everybody off with in a year.
-
Looking at the Nokia phone line, it seems pretty booming to me. Not quite sure yet what is ruined regarding Nokia phones.
-
@obsolesce I never said MS ruined nokia, you seem to have inserted that into my statement.
I said they bought their mobile division then laid every nokia employee off within a year after abandoning mobile phones.
