Users need free open-source CI and seamless mirroring to switch from GitHub
JoshuaJBouw · x · 2026-08-19
Users outline specific barriers to switching to GitHub alternatives like Gitlawb: the product must be public, visible, and support automatic mirroring back to GitHub. Performance is good, but it must convincingly be a "GitHub+". The critical linchpin is free CI for open source, which often implies slowness; if a new platform solves speed and costs while enabling agent interaction, it would drive migration.
