I'm waiting till Monday to see if the rumours are true. Gitlab posted a
youtube video today on how to migrate you git repos from Github to Gitlab.

If Microsoft has in fact bought Github I will be migrating off. I'm not
sure if I will got with Gitlab or Bitbucket. I've used all 3 at various
consulting gigs with Gitlab being used at my current gig. I'm leaning
towards Gitlab because I like the idea of self-hosting but my past
experiences with Ruby on Rails was a bit of a disaster, mostly because
of not knowing what I'm doing and "What ? Read the freaking manual ?
That's for wussies."
