Again you haven’t supplied any reference to support your claims.

> you have not given a single reason why not GitLab

You wouldn’t be able to have integrated referencing (in issues and PRs) between docutils and sphinx, readthedocs, myst, and the majority of the python ecosystem that are on GitHub. Also first-class integration with VS Code, the most used development tool,...

Anyhow I’m not going to continue a flame war. I just wanted to make sure that your views wasn’t the only one represented here.

Cheers,
Chris

Nonetheless it is blocked by US companies and federal agencies and the reason stated is ties to China. I’m thinking fighting the US government on its opinions of this is a battle of logic you’re not going to win. GitHub is a barrier, GitLab is not. I vote GitLab.

Also, defending GitHub you have not given a single reason why not GitLab, so, if they are equivalent, they why not GitLab?

Personally, I don’t like leaving the office and reading GitHub on my phone just to do something.
