Gitlab has protected branches feature for quite sometime. I was wondering when Github is going to implement it. Finally!!!

The benefit of competition. I hope Gitlab, Github and others keep pushing each other forward. It's better for everyone.
We'll do our best.

It's a very interesting market. I think we're (we as in: GitLab, GitHub, Stash) all very aware of each others features and shortcomings, not in the least because of the intense comparison that every customer does before they decide on a purchase.

At GitLab a large part of our new features are driven by requests of customers or shortcomings that they noticed in competitors' products. In the end, we also believe this benefits everyone.

Protected branches have been a feature of Bitbucket also for a long time.
