yup. because github is so prevalent, almost nobody doesn't have their main repo on github these days..

well I guess the UI is kind of a preference thing

lizzie: it is, but first having this and then actively taking it out is really silly

Zarthus: I really don't get why you are defending them here. github allows cloning a million times a day, why would they mind a few additional pulls? I don't buy it.

of course if you commit on both sides it's kind of an unsolvable problem, but that's really not the point

Zarthus: it's pretty simple actually. I wrote my own to do it now

lizzie: a git mirror will pull from one repo (the main one) and push it to another (the mirror)

also fun story, gitlab EE and the free gitlab hosting still has this feature

Zarthus: I don't believe that one second ;) you could easily have a slower update interval and require some sort of fee to make it quicker. like only once a day

I don't like when there are obvious attempts to lock me in just because apparently github feels like they own the market at this point (which might be true to some extent)

MrJones
well I wrote my own git mirror now and because of this I've actually started to more actively move my main repos off github

I hope github doesn't turn into the new sourceforge eventually...

MrJones
it allowed you to easily mirror from another repo, allowing you to maintain an automatically up-to-date copy at github for visibility (and for the laziness of other people who use github) while still being able to have your main repo somewhere else

what I dislike most about github tbh is that they had a mirror functionality, and then just removed it >.> that's kind of a bulls**t move

except I know the address bar trick, so I don't bother with the button
+
[2016-09-10T22:25:10Z]
MrJones
it certainly fits my own github usage
+
[2016-09-10T22:24:39Z]
MrJones
(and why would they need to? again there's a simple accessible clone url on the page for a reason)
+
[2016-09-10T22:24:16Z]
MrJones
I can certainly understand where lizzie 's criticism is coming from
+
[2016-09-10T22:24:06Z]
MrJones
and many casual users will probably not be 100% aware just using the address bar works
+
[2016-09-10T22:23:53Z]
MrJones
because you're either copying from the address bar with one-click + ctrl+c, or the clone url bar (before redesign) with one-click + ctrl+c
