&gt; Try talking to a dev, ask them why they use Github instead of Gitlab. Are they going to tell you &quot;Oh I absolutely would use Gitlab but their uptime is such a problem&quot;? Or are they going to tell you their stuff&#x27;s already on Github? Their friends&#x2F;coworkers are on Github? Their employers look for their Github profile?<p>Just as an alternative point of view, a shop I knew used self-hosted gitlab in preference to github, because they were in China. That was actually how I learned about gitlab.
