Did Microsoft woo some noobs with GitHub? How come everyone is fear mongering like you do yet somehow fine with GitHub? You have plenty of GNU projects hosted there. That's my point, some things just need to be accepted and we need to move on. Reinventing the wheel like KDE does massively harms the progress.

People do regularly object to hosting things on GitHub, doubly so for community FOSS projects.

What GNU projects are hosted on GitHub? (Hosted, not mirrored)

Gnucash is.

They're using GitHub quite actively, but https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Git#Introduction says

> code.gnucash.org is the server that hosts the canonical git repository

and

> Our public repositories are mirrored on GitHub.

You're grasping onto outdated wiki information. All development, including PRs, the release builds (.github folder workflows in repo) and many bug reports are on GitHub. You click Browse Source Code on main website and it takes you to GitHub. You click contribute and wiki lists GitHub for PRs. Seriously, what more do you need?

The wiki says github is just a mirror. That's not "grasping", that's pointing at the most authoritative looking source.

OK, dude.

Let's take a step back and unpack what we're actually trying to say here:

> The gnucash developers use github, therefore...

There's no therefore which changes this discussion. If you want to follow the lead of gnucash developers, none of us can stop you but you and they are still making a mistake. Microsoft is not to be trusted. It's only been what, a week or so since Microsoft shut down the ability to install Windows without a Microsoft account? Something Microsoft fanboys said they'd never do, even as all the evidence pointed towards Microsoft slow boiling that frog. If you still need to learn the hard way, have fun with that. Don't expect anybody else to cheer you on though, we've seen where this goes too many times.
