[sword-devel] CrossWire and git

I'm familiar with both. GitLab at work (privately hosted) and GitHub for my 
open source work.

I like GitLab. However, I think the GitHub CI infrastructure is more powerful.

Furthermore, pretty much all SWORD frontends are already on GitHub (except 
Bishop).

Best regards,
Tobias
