+ [2016-09-10T22:40:25Z] MrJones yup. because github is so prevalent, almost nobody doesn't have their main repo on github these days..
+ [2016-09-10T22:38:09Z] MrJones well I guess the UI is kind of a preference thing
+ [2016-09-10T22:37:40Z] MrJones lizzie: it is, but first having this and then actively taking it out is really silly
+ [2016-09-10T22:37:19Z] MrJones 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.
+ [2016-09-10T22:36:57Z] MrJones of course if you commit on both sides it's kind of an unsolvable problem, but that's really not the point
+ [2016-09-10T22:36:46Z] MrJones Zarthus: it's pretty simple actually. I wrote my own to do it now
+ [2016-09-10T22:36:29Z] MrJones lizzie: a git mirror will pull from one repo (the main one) and push it to another (the mirror)
+ [2016-09-10T22:36:10Z] MrJones also fun story, gitlab EE and the free gitlab hosting still has this feature
+ [2016-09-10T22:35:57Z] MrJones 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
+ [2016-09-10T22:35:02Z] MrJones 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)
+ [2016-09-10T22:34:33Z] 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
+ [2016-09-10T22:33:47Z] MrJones I hope github doesn't turn into the new sourceforge eventually...
+ [2016-09-10T22:33:27Z] 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
+ [2016-09-10T22:32:38Z] MrJones 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
+ [2016-09-10T22:25:16Z] MrJones 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
