Why not github?

Asked by Gowtham

Hello, is there a reason this repo is not on git related platforms? I would like to contribute on arc related code and it's a little difficult for git users to get started.

For GitHub specifically, historically it's because this is the best code
hosting I know of that's 100% free software (Github is not even close).
Gitlab probably comes second. Additionally, I choose not to entangle myself
with Microsoft any more than I can absolutely help.

This is a git related platform (I know it used to be bzr only), but this
project is in git now. See https://code.launchpad.net/dkimpy

I'd love to have more contributors, but I'm not moving the project to a
proprietary platform.

Sure, totally understandable. This is supposed to be asked on https://launchpad.net/authentication-results-python which is currently bzr only. It took me sometime to view the source code since I'm new here.

No, it's in git too:

There's probably obsolete bzr stuff around somewhere, but I'm pretty sure I
converted all my projects to git.
