Github

While git is a distributed version control system, GitHub created a centralised collaboration platform around it, with such popularity that for many people they have become synonymous. People manage their software projects on GitHub, no longer just because it is a helpful platform, or because it is gratis, but also because they effectively have to be there for the rest of the developer world to discover and contribute to their project — a network lock-in, like with other social networks

    • for 2., they want [[github]] to be the hosting platform. I would probably have moved elsewhere by now (somewhere open source!) if this wasn’t a requirement, so it does bother me a bit; but it also has upsides, mostly due to the fact that Github is so popular (I know there’s a self-fulfilling prophecy scenario here maybe).

(This might be an unkind take, as [[GitHub]] is a diverse group of humans. It is meant as a criticism of the corporate entity (now embedded in [[Microsoft]]). No offense intended!)


Another take: #GitHub has an interesting [[social impact]] programme: https://t.co/eLsHMMw9EV

> The Social Impact team empowers nonprofits and the greater social sector to drive positive and lasting contributions to the world with GitHub products, our brand, and our employees.


One take: #GitHub is a joke, a company that makes money (and influence) on top of open source but refuses to open source their software.

If I’m not mistaken this is a textbook case of [[enclosure]] of the Commons.
