After alot of debating between staying with Github or moving all of our operations to Gitlab, a very hard decision, as I will be enduring tons of technical debt I did myself so I shot myself in the foot for this one. However, I learned that sometimes you just need to sit down and come to terms with the decision you make. So Comfora is now on Gitlab and we’re migrating from Github

​
The Why of our Migration?

With the 2025 announcement of Github being reported that it will be placed under Microsoft’s CoreAI division, I was hopefull they would introduce a respecting yet, powerful AI that will genuinely be great for developers. Of course some naiveness was at play as the time I was busy even learning Python and not AI or Agents or whatever SaSS companies call it these days. But a company that had a $281.7 billion USD evaluation at the end of 2025, I was somewhat trusting. They clearly have the resources? It came at a cost for trading our open-source code for some medicore AI that other AI platforms outperform. Personally I’m fine with AI being used in contexts of assisting development, as seen in our Responsible AI Policy Comfora currently has however with GitHub forcefully shoving AI features down the maintainers throat to the point where I honestly want to get rid of my student status just to get rid of the AI prompts I see everyday. With Gitlab and the testing I’ve done you can easily hide and ignore AI features and if you seek out for them it’s availible for you to use. TL;DR AI ruins alot of platforms if shoved down everyone’s throat.

​
Future development of Comfora

After migration is done, we will completely shut down the Github organization and have our Gitlab organization as our only source for open-source development. We’re estimating migration to be done in the next few weeks and it will be gradual to not be abrupt to services that depend on our git repositories on Github. Thank you for reading, Adam Garza
