Lorenzo,

If you don't try to use the migration tool and just clone to a local repository and then clone back into your new host, does that also mess up the history?

Surely git by itself doesn't screw up.

Some of you may be aware that gitorious.org is closing down as it's been acquired by Gitlab.com

As I had a few things (including Pd-related e.g. Granita) on there I tried migrating to Gitlab with their automatic migration tool, which seems to have screwed committers (i.e. adding a totally unrelated user who only shares my first name (!))

My motive to use gitorious was: a) open source b) essential, no thrills and just worked.

I've also used Bitbucket lately and it's really nice.

So what are people using these days?
Anyone also having to migrate from Gitorious? If so what do they think?
Just use GitHub which 'everyone else' (TM) uses and forget it?

Given that even with the 'migration' tool working (and it seems it's not properly), migration is always a bit of a PITA (e.g. links pointing to Gitorious potentially broken..) I might consider something else

Thaks for any ideas sharing and hope even if way off-topic this might be of interst to other Pd-ers.

Lorenzo.
