Because businesses that use .NET are already paying for it with their visual studio subscription or higher Microsoft support. It’s a bare minimum product that has no incentive to improve because no one pays for it. But businesses force the use of it because “we’re already paying for it”
Ah, the age old Microsoft strategy of bundling.

Search is really useful for finding error messages’ origin as well as to find random example usages of APIs that have less than stellar documentation. The nice thing about GH search is that it allows many different facets like language and is pretty flexible by allowing exact search terms. Of course the corpus size helps as well.
No, I know why you would want search, I was asking about why you would want social features.

It blows my mind that so many devs did not see this coming the moment Microsoft bought it. I was waiting for this to happen the moment I found out about the acquisition.
I fully saw it when I heard but alas. I still need the green squares on my github page to get hired. Nobody looks at projects as much as the green squares.

I'm not a developer, but I can certainly understand your position. It's unfortunate that companies rely on this type of company to decide if someone is worth hiring. There's a need for companies to have streamlines that look at the actual capabilities and values of potential hires, regardless of where the evidences are hosted.
This world is way too broken, and getting worse every day.

So they're just going to use GitHub as a code training dataset? Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
Aren't they already doing that?

Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.
Disroot Forgejo: Brace yourself, merge conflicts ahead. (git.disroot.org)
Codeberg doesn't allow inactive projects or non FOSS projects afaik

if you're hosting the code on codeberg, aint it foss?

Source-available isn't the same as free and open-source. You might not be able to distribute or modify as you like to the former and may have any sort of license provisioned with further restrictions.

GitHub just got less independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
Microsoft is bringing GitHub into its AI engineering team. It’s part of an AI shakeup, following the GitHub CEO resigning.

These comment make me curious. How many of you have read Microserfs by Douglas Coupland?
I'm sure most of you haven't, but just curious if anyone has

I honestly don't understand why Github hasn't been abandoned by users at this point. If I were a company, I'd either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.
I'm just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago
What are you using?
-
Our company runs everything on Azure. We use windows PCs, Visual Studio Professional, C# .Net, outlook, teams, etc.
We make enterprise software and I am happy really. I wasn’t at the start but as time goes on I don’t care, I do my job and go home.
The company I worked at got acquired by a big tech company. We're switching from Google suite to Microsoft, Mac to Windows, Slack to Teams, etc. It's pretty painful as transitions go, and if not for golden handcuffs I'd be gone.
I'm not sure if I'll ever be happy with Visual Studio though, so I use Jetbrains Rider.

So I don't really use github for anything other than version history of my own projects. I have a Raspberry Pi server, should I be hosting git on that? Can VSCode GUI integrate with it as seamlessly as it does github?
Can VSCode GUI
So, you're going to ditch GitHub because of Microsoft, but you're trying to keep using VSCode, which is also Microsoft?
-
It was dead when MS bought it. Software developers aren't immune to denial.
It's not just GitHub. People are also using VSCode, despite it slowly suffocating the non-MS dev ecosystem.
Microsoft switched from the really aggressive "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" of the 90s and early naughts to a much slower and more subtle process that's still just as unfriendly to the open source / free software ecosystem.

How has GitHub been enshittified? It's a genuine question, because I've thought Microsoft has been a pretty good steward of it until now.
For one thing, you can't do a code search on GitHub unless you have a GitHub account and are logged in.

Use Codeberg, or self-host Forgejo
Codeberg has a 750mb limit, for me that is not enough. I need to store asset data as well.
-
I stopped sending updates to it and host my own gitlab now.
won't ever look back.
Meaning you have your own machine to host on or how does it work?
