You won't get all the features GitHub provides with just a git server. It might not be cheaper depending on your needs. And for a lot of people, git itself is just the (excellent) engine but really they want a whole car. It's really an amazing system that most of us take for granted.ĭifferent people have different needs. And all of it is in a format you can link to in an email or drop into a chat, even referencing the specific lines of the diff you care about. The biggest feature for me is the whole Pull Request flow with integration between filing the original issue, the code changes to fix it with inline code reviews and tracking everything through to a release all with a few clicks. It's an amazing system for productivity of large dev teams and a dream to work with if it fits your use case. Maybe none of the Github features are useful to you in how you use it, but I find Github the most productive way to work with a distributed dev team that I've ever found by a large margin.
It's cheaper, and none of the features are truly needed.
I think more people should go self hosted. > Github is just a pretty interface with bells and whistles. This is how the Open Source Hardware Association essentially does their certification and why you can't use "Free Software Foundation" in your open source project's name without permission. I sympathize with him but I wish he had taken a bigger stance on his trademark.įree/libre/open source organizations have understood this and use trademark to brand themselves and make sure others don't dilute that brand without permission. It looks like a big point of contention for Jason Rohrer is brand confusion as many people don't realize the iOS port of "One Hour One Life" has nothing to do with Jason Rohrer. When the iOS port that was similarly named ("One Hour One Life for iOS") and became more popular than his released game, that's when he started to push back. It looks like he clearly indicated to people making a port that the "One Hour One Life" name was also in the public domain and could be used but that they shouldn't, essentially making an ethical argument. I think Jason Rohrer might be backpeddling on that. What looks to be happening is more of a trademark issue.
Just to be clear, it looks like Jason Rohrer is still very much committed to putting his work in the public domain and, as far as I can tell, has been consistent in his commitment to keeping the work he's dedicated to the public domain in the public domain.
