I dont post my code to github because I would rather use gitlab
We are not the same
I dont post my code to gitlab because I would rather use codeberg

You can also use GitHub as a mirror to make your project more discoverable

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
ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.
I think you convinced me to actually do it
"I don't post my code to GitHub because it's a proprietary platform owned by Microsoft and the antithesis to open source. We are not the same."
They are probably scraping it to train AI anyway. Not doing that for free.
Maybe we should all host our shitty code on github and make the ai psychotic!
Oh don't worry. My shitty code is on GitHub.
And your amazing code is on a self-hosted Gitea? =D
Uhhhh yeah.... Amazing code........
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.
Oh, that's the next excuse i'll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. "i'm protecting my product".
Ok, thank you for your time.
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.
Many people here seem to have very strong opinions about GitHub :D
I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.
GitHub has private repositories for both of you.
I'd bet that AI still gets to appropriate it as its "own" creation.
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?
gitlab, self-hosted gitea instance, codeberg
I post to GitHub because I am GitHub
I post my terrible code to github so I can sabotage copilot
Get copilot to generate bad code in quantity, then upload that to GitHub so it slowly cannibalizes itself.
Yep, this is why I run forgejo internally and have zero intention of exposing it to the public.
Dunning Kruger baby wooo 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
The first rule about no Github club is that we don't talk about no Github club
