Moving from GitHub to GitLab

Why I moved

1. European & Local Choice

I prefer using IntelliJ / CLion because JetBrains is a European company 🇪🇺.
Supporting European software helps our local economy and aligns with living in the EU. VS Code → IntelliJ / CLion for smarter, controlled development 🚀

2. Aggressive AI Marketing on GitHub

GitHub Copilot is a strategic Microsoft product, and its marketing is designed to push developers into using it. Many users feel that GitHub “forces” AI features even when they are unwanted.

How it shows:

  • Default integration: Copilot is built directly into GitHub and VS Code; disabling it isn’t always obvious.
  • Persistent notifications: Constant banners, tips, and prompts encourage you to enable Copilot, even if you already tried or don’t want it.
  • AI-first focus: Microsoft promotes Copilot as a “must-have developer tool,” making the marketing intentionally persistent.
  • Subscription model: As a paid service, GitHub tries to convert free users into paying subscribers.

3. Security & Privacy

  • Hosting on my own servers gives complete control over my code and stronger cybersecurity.

4. Better Control & Features

  • More control over projects
  • Built-in CI/CD for seamless automation
  • Less intrusive AI marketing 😅
