So interesting. This race for features between the cloud vendors feels crazy to me, but totally makes sense from a business perspective. Classic attempt at locking you in to a single platform.


From the repository feature's docs (https://cloud.google.com/tools/cloud-repositories/docs/):

"Using Cloud Source Repositories is easy if you are familiar with Git. For example, you can add a Cloud Source Repository to a local Git repository as a remote, or you can connect it to a hosted repository on GitHub or Bitbucket"

If the goal is lock-in, they're doing it wrong.

Isn't that what happens immediately after one places their artifacts into "the cloud"?


Nah, there are multiple cloud vendors out there. My platform runs in DO, AWS, and GCE for instance. The notion that cloud itself locks you in will disappear soon.
