I use git*lab* for anything I start, git*hub* if its pre-existing.
-
fair — any reason why? [curious]
-
gitlab itself is open source - so we also have a private self-hosted version.
-
thanks for that — just out of curiosity does gitlab give unlimited free private repos to me as an academic?
-
unlimited free private repos for you as a human being, I think is the rule (I think some total storage limits apply)
-
shit I'm a robot tho — what kind of Turing test do I have to pass?

-
I think you have to harm a human being or through inaction, cause one to be harmed.
-
I have certainly through inaction allowed many humans to be harmed. I live in the West.

I use it for OSS projects, but use BitBucket for everything else (private stuff).
-
any specific reason?
-
Because private repos are free on BitBucket, pretty much.
-
I have unlimited free private repos on github because I am an academic — why not for you?
-
I do too, but probably won’t be forever. (also, sourcetree is a nice free git client.)
-
GUI? not really a bit fan of GUIs but will check out.
-
I also don’t do a lot of branching, mostly for versioning, less for collaboration. (I know how to use CLI git, but it scares me.)
-
I am the opposite the GUIs scare me.

I collected some data on this recently. Lots of people use Github to store/share, a lot less use it for version control.
-
that's worrying to me
-
link to data? Write up?
-
We're still wading through the analysis. But we'll be writing up a preliminary blog post really soon (with preprints to follow).
-
extremely interesting, tell me when ready.
