The good news is that Greg has shown exceptional talent in moving repositories. When the need comes, he can move the source-code to a Mercurial repository.

If necessary we could stay with git but move back to bitbucket.

Or go to gitlabs.

Another option, I suppose...

My main motivation for moving to GitHub was that it's a social platform that would get us more exposure. BitBucket doesn't provide the same sort of social concepts as GitHub.

GitLab may be the best choice if we choose to jump ship from GitHub. It has free cloud-hosted and local-hosted options and it still provides a lot of the social look-and-feel.

But for now, I say we wait it out and see what happens. The deal won't even be finalized until the end of the year. It might not be a bad thing after all (I'm trying to stay optimistic.)

Here's a list of all the git-based code hosting offerings I could find. Some are nice. Some are okay.

Name Language License Cloud-hosted? Local-hosted?
GitHub Ruby Proprietary Free Paid
BitBucket Python Proprietary Free Paid
GitLab Ruby/Go Community Free Free
TeamHub Unknown Proprietary Free None
Gitea Golang MIT license None Free
Gogs Golang MIT license None Free
GitBucket Scala Apache None Free
Pagure Python GPLv2 Unknown Free
RhodeCode Python AGPLv3 Paid Free
Beanstalk Unknown Proprietary Paid None

Edit: added Pagure

MS were clearly waiting for Euphoria to make the leap.
