why? github offers basically free hosting for code. as long as git clone works, everything should be fine?
Everything owned by Microsoft is in immediate danger of failing to work correctly forevermore.
because "free" isn't free.
What does that mean?
Granted, I still use code form github.
But the person you're replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.
And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.
