MS authentication mechanisms have been painful.. i think they have realized that.

Anyway, when it comes to crowd sourced and social systems, i dont foresee them making changes to auth mechanisms

I have set up GitLab on premise for a Bank. Security concerned firms host their own git repos :-)


same here. we have on-prem instance of GitLab for our company. We use Jenkins for CI and post all artifacts to artifactory (again local/on-prem) which proxies external repos. Out security team would allow to use GitHub though.

Simba:

will force you to have a Microsoft account to get access to GitHub.



I dont think so. But they may integrate existing MS accounts to the existing github accounts. Take a look at Skype. I had an account when its Skype on its own. Then paypal bought, no account change. Now MS has integrated my skype account to my hotmail account(now I can login with my skype id or hotmail id)
So, this is not a big deal to manage

I like DockerHub too but with a different perspective of packaged code hosting.

They did with Skype though




That was before Satya
This world appearance is a confusion: even as the blueness of the sky is an optical illusion. I think it is better not to let the mind dwell on it, but to ignore it.

They didn't do that with Linkedin, no reason why would they do it with Github.

Simba:

I hope they keep GitHub as is with minimal branding changes. I hate the single sign-on which they eventually implement, will force you to have a Microsoft account to get access to GitHub.




no they won't. They didn't do that with Linkedin, no reason why would they do it with Github. They would probably give SSO with MS account as an option but don't think it would be the only one.

That's a big amount to burn. I am sure MS can build a product for lot less but paying premium for brand value and loyal user base. Looks like MS is back to please Developers. Good old times..
