This is terrible. That's why I hate politics! It divides people while it should unite. Stared the repo.

Can anyone suggest any alternatives to GitHub? GitLab is also a US company, so there is no point in switching to it. Maybe BitBucket? It's a part of Atlassian products and Atlassian is Australian company.

GitLab is open source, you can host it yourself, so maybe the best solution would be creating a self hosted GitLab in a country that isn't subject to all this nonsense. I wish Linode weren't an American company.

AFAIU it has nothing to do with the location of the company, but with whether that company does business with the US.

So, all companies are affected. Only non-commercial stuff isn't.
