It's not great

I post my terrible code to github so I can sabotage copilot

Get copilot to generate bad code in quantity, then upload that to GitHub so it slowly cannibalizes itself.
- I only post upload badly written reverse shells so that copilot just turns all code in a backdoor, take that NSA!
Imagine Copilot using it to intentionally showcase terrible code.

I don´t post code to github because it's a microsoft company.

codeberg, self-hosted gitlab, gitea/forgejo, ~~sourceforge~~
- Didn't sourceforge go to shit some years back with ads, embedding bloatware into downloads, and I don't remember what else? Did it get better again?

ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

If it works, it works.

I think you convinced me to actually do it

I got one star on my repo so i immediately privated it

Shit that's brutal
me when i accidently star my own repo

"I don't post my code to GitHub because it's a proprietary platform owned by Microsoft and the antithesis to open source. We are not the same."

They are probably scraping it to train AI anyway. Not doing that for free.
- Maybe we should all host our shitty code on github and make the ai psychotic!

I dont post my code to github because I would rather use gitlab

We are not the same

I want to start moving stuff into Gitlab, but Github Actions is just too good. Is the CI/CD stuff in Gitlab comparable?
- GitHub's actions are so good once it clicks and you understand them. On GitLab, you start from a docker image, so it's harder to setup some things but easier for others. If you are very good at docker and don't mind making your own images just for CI purposes, then go ahead.
  
  Ideally, you should just try them both. You can mirror a project between the two and setup the CI at both places.
- Ive never used githubs CI/CD, but gitlab has quite a large ecosystem for its CI/CD.
  Seems to me like you could use gitlab as a one-stop-shop to host everything from your code to your artifacts and containers, if you are willing to pay for those fancy features
  
  Free is able to just do basic CI/CD for like 250 minutes a month, or unlimited via your own runners/build servers, thats about it
You can also use GitHub as a mirror to make your project more discoverable

i post my code to github so ppl will fix it for me because im just a artist

I don't post code to GitHub because I get paid to code, and I'm too lazy to do more.

And my code probably sucks.

User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

The best part of Lemmy is the low userbase in comparison means it's easier to be original and not try and say the same thing a hundred times.
- Amen! There's plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don't miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it's not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy "I can't believe it's not Reddit" and hire Fabio to do a commercial.

I don't post my code to GitHub because I use GitLab. We are not the same

I don't post to GitLab because I use Gitea. We are not the same.
- I don't post to Gitea because I scrawl my code onto a piece of leather made of human flesh and venture down to the shore on a stormy night to hurl it into a raging sea as I shriek insults at God in a language known only to madmen. We are not the same.

I'm not a professional dev. So I don't care what anyone else thinks, it's not gonna affect my job prospects. So I publish all my shit code for the world to see.

Many people here seem to have very strong opinions about GitHub :D

I make throwaway accounts. Push code. Disappear forever. Come to find out nobody ever looks at it anyways.

You don’t passt your code because you’re embarrassed by it.

I don’t post my code to github because i don’t use proprietary garbage.

We are not the same.

You don't post your code to GitHub because you don't use proprietary garbage.

I don't post my code to GitHub because I selfhost my own Forgejo instance.

We are not the same.
- You don't post you code to GitHub because you self host you something or other
  
  I don't post any code to GitHub cos I don't code and I'm not really sure what's going on
  
  Are we the same? Idk

Yeah

Oh, that's the next excuse i'll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. "i'm protecting my product".

Ok, thank you for your time.

Any good alternatives for GitHub you can recommend?

Codeberg, Forgejo, Gittea, Gitlab,
- Bitbucket, azure dev ops
gitlab, self-hosted gitea instance, codeberg

Post it if it provides functions not found anywhere else. I can't give less fuck to code quality if it does the work for that absurd user requirement for me.

GitHub has private repositories for both of you.

I'd bet that AI still gets to appropriate it as its "own" creation.

Most companies are both

I post to GitHub because I am GitHub

Yep, this is why I run forgejo internally and have zero intention of exposing it to the public.

I post my code to GitHub so when I'm eventually good enough to get a job I can pretend I'm hardworking by having lots of commits in private repos.

git commit -m "Added a new string to X class."

Dunning Kruger baby wooo 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This is why my code is fucking awesome, I don't understand why everyone finds it so hard. Like. I have been at this for less than a month and I'm sure I could punch out a new llm engine if I just tried
