View submission: Why did I build AmputatorBot?

View parent comment

Both platforms offer similar feature sets, but I don't think any of the alternatives have the same community size as github. That said, perhaps you could look into a mirrored solution. It would require more work on your end of things, so quite understandable if you don't want to do it, but there's ways to have repos on GitLab and GitHub mirror each other. It's a bit of a pain to deal with pull requests and merge requests, but it'd let people contribute on their platform of choice.

I only bring it up because I recently read an article about how to set that up while I was trying to figure a similar solution out for myself. I'll post it in an edit if I can find it again.

Thx for your detailed comment! A mirrored solution sounds really interesting. It might be a bit difficult to maintain and set up, but it's a solution worth looking into.

I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, because frankly I was not even aware of a two-platform solution. I guess I read too many X vs X articles :)
