Why give up GitHub?

• Copilot is a for-profit product that violated licenses
• GitHub has a for-profit software services contract with the USA Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• While GitHub pretends to be pro-FOSS (like SourceForge before them), their entire hosting site is, itself, proprietary and/or trade-secret software. GitHub differs from most of its peers in the FOSS project hosting industry, as GitHub does not even offer any self-hosting FOSS option. Their entire codebase is secret.
• GitHub has long sought to discredit copyleft generally. Their various CEOs have often spoken loudly and negatively about copyleft
• GitHub is wholly owned by Microsoft, a company whose executives have historically repeatedly attacked copyleft licensing.

How do I give up?
Hard because vendor lock-in.

Alternatives?
CodeBerg, SourceHut, Gitea, Gitlab.

Use a README template to make others aware

• Repo release: https://github.com/:owner/:repo/releases.atom
• Repo commits: https://github.com/:owner/:repo/commits.atom
• Repo tag: https://github.com/:user/:repo/tags.atom
• User activity: https://github.com/:user.atom

The same as #gitlab does. It is pratical to have both platforms that are aligning with each other; picking the best of the other one.

Navigate into github as a filesystem !

Could we make it crossplatform ? I.e. integration of Gitea and Gitlab for example

A new way to search through the repositories in beta.
Github will provide a new interface for it: https://cs.github.com/

We can use regex, syntax specific (keywords, ...) of the 10 most used languages.

Utiliser les issues de ces deux plateformes pour avoir des cheatsheets :)

Replace the .com in the project with .dev to open a VS code editor online.

Or the shortcut . (dot) to go straight to this editor !

In this editor you can obviously consult all the sources of the project, but also modify them and push your changes to the github directly.

Put your RSS feed on Github.

Yeah it is great. I am more concerned about privacy, so I won't do it, but it looks fun :D

A shaarli like system on Github: handlink bookmarks on the README of a project.

Oh wait !
#project #idea : export the database of shaarli to a README.md file on Github or Gitlab 🤣

Github removes all non-essential cookie from the platform, so there is no cookie banner anymore.

Attention, un prochain outil va apparaître rien que pour cela dans 3, 2, 1

Youtube-dl a été interdit sur Github puisqu'il manipule du contenu sous copyright.

Coup de gueule sur Github et ce qu'il s'est récemment passé sur la plateforme
