this should really be the article link instead of that proprietary writeup by a company taking advantage of OSS

edit: just because someone puts up an "easy" ""free"" service, does not mean they are kind. GitHub is not your friend for git issues. I woul dhope this site would support true FOSS

No it shouldn't, an hour in this submission might have barely 7 points, not 177, and probably a comment or two bemoaning the readability and pointing out the clearer write-up(s) available for people not already keeping up with the mailing list.

If you don't believe me, have a look, this was probably submitted too, and is languishing somewhere off the front page while this one is at the top, by virtue of people voting for it and not the other.

lack of accessibility/discoverability and meager focus on looks has been a staple of FOSS for decades, but HN should be a site that helped with this, not one that supported proprietary uses of FOSS software to the benefit of an anti-competitive behemoth such as MS

remirk's link is missing the git-gui CVE so it's not a direct replacement.
