Let's be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn't switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven't yet. Why?

I want to have separated accounts for different sets of project...
Signed up a second account... it got suspended instantly (after I log in with my main). According to ToS, I can't have more than one account.

Nuh uh, You aren't the only provider. Headed to Gitlab, no more bs.

The only reason I would switch is if the projects I contribute too would switch. I personally don't care.

Them shutting down.

I have a couple netdevops Ansible projects there but I would not want to dilute the openAI scalping with my shitty playbooks. Not sure if the scalp private repos though.

Already moved in the sense that I am not creating any new projects on GH. I am rehosting old projects opportunistically. No plans to get rid of the account unless GH does something really messed up.

I mirror all my stuff on Gitlab just in case GitHub goes away, it probably won't happen but I like having backups! :)

As someone who has to use Azure DevOps for work, I can safely say GitHub is safe. Microsoft put so much effort into while Azure DevOps seems like an after thought to them now.

I use it for work so to entirely leave it they'd have to move away. That seems unlikely.

With free time and some rest I’d move to sourcehut.

Don't know if anyone remembers but private repo's used to be restricted on GitHub, so I actually use BitBucket for most of my private stuff.

Feels like it wouldn't take much change for me to leave with my own stuff although some presence would always be necessary due to contributions. I don't use any of the "features" of GH though, except for pages and that's for work.

Simple. I would switch if there was something better available. Nothing else I've tried is even close to as good.
