Roku Moves Developer Repositories from GitHub to GitLab

Roku has announced on its developer blog that its repositories have been moved from GitHub to GitLab. The notice appeared on the platform aimed at those who build apps and work with Roku's tooling.

A move between the two largest source-code hosting platforms is routine for the industry, yet it almost always affects those who were already using the previous repositories: developers have to update links, reconfigure their clients, and get used to a new interface and workflow.

The post drew notable attention from the community: on Hacker News the item gathered 113 points and 63 comments, a sign of the interest engineers take in the question of which development platform to use.

Details about the reasons for the move and its specifics are laid out in Roku's official developer announcement.
