Mark Dain has really scared me thinking about GitHub being acquired. Any ideas who would buy them? I have a feeling it may be Microsoft. I think it would be worth looking into GitLab later today.
🦿 Lucian Marin That wasn't my intention :) -- you're right, Microsoft will be a top candidate since they moved some of their projects from CodePlex to GitHub (github.com/microsoft). Anyway, I'm using BitBucket for Sublevel and a classic hosting provider for my site, so I won't be affected by an acquisition.
Mark Dain I forgot about BitBucket, I'll take a look as well as GitLab, but I strongly prefer hosted solutions as it protects me from bad acquisitions, e.g. MariaDB fork of MySQL when Oracle bought Sun.
🦿 Lucian Marin BitBucket is rock solid. It has very few features that work well and nothing more.

Mark Dain So it "does one thing and does it well"? I've always liked programs like that.
