[Cookbook][Workflow] Mention alternatives to GitHub #3215
Conversation

I don't think we should add opiniated stuff to our docs. Just adding BitBucket seems correct to me, but telling why you should choose one of the other is out of the scope of our docs imo |

Yes, the "why mentioning these hosters" is not part of the PR changes. It simply felt wrong to read that GitHub is the easiest way to store a project but that you cannot have private repos for free. That's why I thought to mention Bitbucket as an alternative, because it has a similiar feature set but with free private repos - good to know for companies to get started. Moreover, the changes generalize Git hosting and mention two popular hosters as an example now. |

Actually the reason for this PR was that the current version mentions details about GitHub: Public repositories are free, however you will need to pay a monthly fee to host private repositories
So what about this proposal: Do not mention any details about plans and pricing (they could even change over time) and just suggest GitHub and Bitbucket? That it, keep the PR changes less this sentence: In GitHub, public repositories are free, however you will need to pay a monthly fee to host private repositories. In Bitbucket, you can also host private repositories for free, however they are limited in the number of collaborators.

I like it! |
I think it would be fair to mention alternatives to GitHub. As Bitbucket offers free private repos and is also quite popular, I mentioned it explicitly. In addition, there's a link to a comparision of web-hosting services for VCS.
