I was really excited about this when I got the email a few weeks ago with a beta invite but after two minutes I realised I’d be unable to use it, and still can’t now it’s launched...

Why oh why is GitHub now considered the single place where code lives? Even as alternative providers gain in popularity.

It’s really sad to see DigitalOcean requiring this for some reason.

Please either allow use of arbitrary Git repositories (e.g. self-hosted GitLab in my use case) or provide a stand-alone CLI tool to enable deployment of anything, like Firebase does.

Disappointing so far.

I hope this is in the backlog, because I'm not switching for GitLab for this.
