Goodbye, Github.


It’s sad to look at what has become of you.

What happened?

Github have been sold to Microsoft. They sucks now.

Some project managers decided to leave Github.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

How can I help?

If you agree that Github is in fact sucks now, leave them to. This will help to prevent others from suffering out of Microsoft.

Mirror operators,

please consider if you want to continue supporting Github. It was once a useful open source software archive, but those days are gone. Now they sucks Microsoft dick.
