GitHub为所有人免费提供了所有核心功能-这就是您应该关心的原因

Just a couple of days ago, GitHub wrote a blog article stating that it is now free for teams. Here's the official blog article if you're interested.

就在几天前，GitHub写了一篇博客文章，指出它现在对团队免费。 如果您有兴趣，这是官方博客文章。

In this blog post, I'm not going to discuss what was already discussed by GitHub. Rather, I'll take a different perspective and talk about why this matters to you as an individual developer.

在此博客文章中，我将不讨论GitHub已经讨论的内容。 相反，我将采取不同的观点，并讨论为什么这对您作为个人开发人员很重要。

微软❤️️GitHub (Microsoft ❤️️ GitHub)

GitHub has been able to cram in a lot of features for free for everyone which were paid before. How did that happen? - Microsoft's acquisition.

GitHub能够为以前付费的所有人免费提供许多功能。 那是怎么发生的？ - 微软的收购 。

Microsoft made one of its biggest acquisition ever - 7.5 billion dollars - for a git repo hosting website, back in late 2018. There has been so much noise in many communities on the topic. People argue why this was so bad for open source, and how "Microsoft is going to kill GitHub".

早在2018年末，微软就以75亿美元的价格收购了git repo托管网站，这是有史以来规模最大的一笔收购。许多社区对此话题进行了广泛的讨论。 人们争论为什么这对开源如此不利，以及“微软将如何杀死GitHub”。

But I guess every quarter or so, GitHub proves every single person who argued that way wrong, again and again.

但是我想大约每季度，GitHub就会一次又一次地证明每个人都这样认为。

GitHub has since then been rolling out a number of minor and major updates to the platform. They introduced their own package registry, and then later acquired npm this year. All this was made possible because GitHub now has access to Microsoft resources and talent.

从那时起，GitHub就一直在对该平台进行一些次要和主要更新。 他们介绍了自己的软件包注册中心，然后在今年以后收购了npm。 所有这一切之所以成为可能，是因为GitHub现在可以访问Microsoft资源和人才。

GitHub做了什么 (What GitHub did)

If you just look a couple of years back or so, GitHub was a platform which had:

如果您仅回顾几年前，​​GitHub是一个具有以下功能的平台：

1. No free private repos (for both personal and team accounts)
   没有免费的私人存储库(适用于个人和团队帐户)
2. No GitHub Actions - CI/CD support
   没有GitHub操作-CI / CD支持
3. $9 per month plan for Teams
   团队每月9美元的计划
4. Limited number of features
   功能数量有限

And it was a big deal then too. But since that time, GitHub has really picked up speed both in terms of features on the platform and how it's competing with the competition in a better way. And right now, its strongest competitor is GitLab.

那时也很重要。 但是自那时以来，GitHub确实在平台功能以及如何以更好的方式与竞争对手竞争方面提高了速度。 现在，它最强大的竞争对手是GitLab。

GitLab is another git repository hosting service. But it lets you either set it up on their platform (like GitHub) or run your own local GitLab. It also offered plans like GitHub, but with more features and lower prices.

GitLab是另一个git仓库托管服务。 但是，您可以在其平台(例如GitHub)上进行设置，也可以运行自己的本地GitLab。 它还提供了像GitHub这样的计划，但具有更多功能和更低的价格。

The announcement made yesterday can basically be summed up by these things:

昨天的公告基本上可以归纳为以下几点：

1. GitHub has made public/private repos free for everyone - individual and organization handles - just like GitLab.
   GitHub像GitLab一样，向所有人(包括个人和组织)免费提供了公共/私有存储库。
2. GitHub has dropped the prices of its Team plan from $9 to $4 - the same as what GitLab offers.
   GitHub已将其Team计划的价格从9美元降至4美元-与GitLab提供的价格相同。
3. I didn't know a lot about this before today, but GitHub actually comes with something called GitHub Actions. It allows you to do a ton of sweet things with your GitHub repos, like CI/CD - similar to what GitLab offers.
   在此之前，我对此并不了解很多，但是GitHub实际上带有一个叫做GitHub Actions的东西。 它允许您使用GitHub存储库(例如CI / CD)做很多甜蜜的事情，类似于GitLab提供的功能。

为什么这么重要？ (Why does this matter?)

At this point, GitHub has honestly leveled up with GitLab. With the powerful ecosystem of GitHub and backing by Microsoft, there's a slim chance you'd want to choose GitLab over GitHub for any specific reason. Especially if you're not tied to either platform. As long as you're not worried about Microsoft stealing your data.

在这一点上，GitHub已经诚实地升级了GitLab。 有了GitHub强大的生态系统并得到Microsoft的支持，您出于任何特定原因都希望选择GitLab而不是GitHub。 特别是如果您不受任何平台约束。 只要您不担心Microsoft窃取您的数据。

Sure, you can go with GitLab too – it's just a matter of choice. But the thing here is that while GitLab used to win in terms of features, now the two are pretty much equal.

当然，您也可以使用GitLab –这只是选择的问题。 但是这里的事情是，尽管GitLab曾经在功能方面取胜，但现在两者几乎是相等的。

This means that GitHub is all set to compete. And competition creates innovation, which always benefits regular users. Healthy competition is really necessary for the betterment of technology, and this is what we are witnessing right now.

这意味着GitHub已准备好竞争。 竞争创造了创新，这总是使普通用户受益。 健康的竞争对于改善技术确实是必不可少的，这就是我们现在所看到的。

For you, as an individual developer, this means you'll be taken care of more while GitHub focuses on bringing huge value to their enterprise and paying customers - people from which they make money.

对于您来说，作为一个单独的开发人员，这意味着您将得到更多的照顾，而GitHub则专注于为他们的企业带来巨大的价值并向客户(他们从中获利)付款。

Even if GitHub is facing losses right now, they'll be okay because Microsoft is backing them. It's just like Amazon eCommerce does fine despite losses as AWS covers them nice and neat.

即使GitHub目前正面临亏损，但也可以接受，因为Microsoft正在支持。 就像Amazon eCommerce表现出色，尽管有所损失，因为AWS覆盖了它们整洁的外观。

结论 (Conclusion)

Things are getting really interesting out there! I've been personally using CircleCI for codedamn - a platform for developers to learn and grow, for CI/CD. But I've discovered that I can probably centralize it using GitHub Actions only!

事情变得非常有趣！ 我一直在使用CircleCI进行Codedamn(针对CI / CD的开发人员学习和成长的平台) 。 但是我发现我仅可以使用GitHub Actions对其进行集中处理！

Maybe I'll try it out later this week and share with you guys how you can do it too. Till then, keep programming!

也许我会在本周晚些时候尝试一下，并与大家分享如何做。 到那时，继续编程！

Peace

和平
