They now try to replace CI services, donation platforms and now remote code editors.
I am not too worried about spreading themselves too thinly. GitHub Actions is much nicer than some of the competitors I used before (though I still love sr.ht builds).
Also, it would be bad for them not to branch out. GitLab is now a strong competitor and they also provide many features beyond code hosting, such as CI, registries, etc.
It is nice that there are three large players now (GitHub, GitLab, Atlassian). GitHub was stagnant for a while, but they seem to be moving fast again after GitLab became a serious competitor. It's a clear case where competition is benefitting the users, both in price and in platform capabilities.
