Think the wiser options for OSS are Github Actions & Gitlab CI going forward. I have heard good things about Azure pipelines too.

After travis-ci got bought and layed off a lot of key staff I did think the day would come where they will no longer will be the defacto choice for open source and I think this news confirms that day being today :-)

Hi, Developer Evangelist at GitLab here.

OSS projects are eligible for a free Gold plan on GitLab.com and can benefit from more CI minutes: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/

If you are planning to continue using GitHub, you can also integrate with GitLab CI/CD for your OSS project: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/github/

I've been using GitLab CI and Travis CI interchangeably. But the recent cut to 400 pipeline minutes on GitLab CI might make it less attractive than Travis CI, even after the current change.

EDIT: Travis seems to take 10 credits per minute, with 1000 free credits per month. So it seems to be the least generous tool with 100 minutes per month vs 400 (GitLab CI) and 2000 (GitHub Actions).

Where did you see the "per month" for Travis? The 10,000 free credits are a one-time trial from what I can see.

This is from a Travis CI mail I got today:

> You have 1,000 credits left - these will begin counting down automatically as soon as you run your first build.

> You can use your credits to build on both private and open-source repositories using Linux, macOS, and Windows OS.

> 1,000 credits will be replenished automatically monthly. Additional Credits purchase is not available for Free Plan.

One of my colleagues got that email. It seems to be saying something quite different to the blog post and the billing documentation, and I don't understand how they fit together.

Even if the email is accurate, which is the better scenario, though, 1000 credits is 100 minutes of Linux build time (or 50 on Windows, 20 on Mac). Which is not much for any but the smallest projects.

I think that for Open Source projects the better CI is still SourceHut. They're not currently limiting any of their resources for free accounts, relying on the funding from paid accounts to pay for their resources.

I find this pay it forward model better than any other option.

Thanks for sharing! Good to know. Had not looked at their offering before.

I've been postponing moving to Github actions, but I guess now I have no option!
