    That’s in interesting. i guess I’m not expired with overwhelming confidence though when it looks like their developing their next generation vcs on github instead of their platform.

      Look, I get that we’re all big Epic haterd here, but this is kind of a silly complaint to leverage against them. Lore is intended to be used for game development where you have lots of large binary files, such as textures, audio files etc. The VCS itself does not have any large binary files, it’s pure code, so using git is perfectly adequate. And putting a project on Github makes it significantly more accessible to potential contributors.

      Again, they intend to compete with Perforce, which is what nearly every AAA game studio in the world is currently using. Not git.

          As you said, Lore is an alternative to git (a VCS), not an alternative to GitHub (a hosting platform for git repos). They don’t have their own alternative to GitHub to use here.

          Unless you meant why aren’t they using Lore to develop Lore, but it wouldn’t make sense to use a VCS intended for games and large binary files to develop software which isn’t a game. Lore is a competitor to Perforce, not to git.
