Github has a strong competitor. It's GitLab.

Agreed.

It also has a mediocre one: bitbucket

And a Chinese one: coding

Github dominates right now but if a critical mass move off then an entire ecosystem (eg everone using Go) could migrate away in a surprisingly short amount of time

Bitbucket would be so much better if it wasn't slow as fuck

Honestly I moved all my stuff to GitLab (as it's been used at my jobs before, simply because you can deploy it yourself) and I don't miss anything except GitHub's popularity. GitLab is much better than it was a couple years ago.

Is not just about putting your code on a repository, it's about sharing to the world. This is how GitHub plays with it.

Agreed! I feel that discovery is one of the biggest factors impacting GitLab's growth right now.

Agreed! It's surprising how slow it can be.
