  Microsoft suddenly getting ordered by the DoJ to pull offending projects from github Or Else.

    if that happens, people should migrate to gitlab or forgejo. gitlab is a Ukrainian company, and forgejo development is primarily driven by Codeberg in Germany.

      Gitlab was created by a ukranian and dutch developer originally but today Gitlab stock is traded on Nasdaq and its HQ is listed as San Francisco (wikipedia). I use it selfhosted but I don’t think gitlab.com can be seen as European anymore.

      Correct me if I’m wrong.

        Dammit really need to stop setting up HQs in US. It’s the same for archive.org and wikipedia.

        I think you might be right for the simple reason that (based on that same source and my presumption of their names ) all the C* people seem to be American as well.

        I self host forgejo. GitHub is the better service because of their super fast ci servers, the GitHub actions that just work, and also because collaboration is tied to the network effect

      if that happens, people should migrate

      Or better yet, they should just go ahead and do so right now. What’s the point of picking Github over the other better alternatives anyway?

        (i agree entirely, but i have to accept a lot of people just go wherever the most users are)

        Is this like that meme about houseplants and potatoes?

        Github - aww, someone called out API too much I guess I’ll just die Gitlab - I am in a fucking warzone and you don’t see that stopping me.

      people should just automatically push to all three as a backup from the start, tbh

        They don’t need to, because git is already decentralized. All the history is usually on everyone’s computers.

      Any opinions on gitea? Idk I’ve been using it for about a year and it works nicely

        of the gogs family tree it’s my middle favorite.

        1. forgejo
        2. gitea
        3. gogs

        forgejo gets the edge because of federation. gitea’s corporate situation is less than ideal. gogs simply doesn’t have the features to be a complete solution

  You mean a company with deep ties to Elon Musk’s biggest personal enemy Sam Altman?

  No way. I’m sure it will be fine, just like the CDC website

  Yeah, hosting it outside of US but by a US provider? Wait, how’d they manage that?

  Should be fine with the way git works, just inconvenient.

  Any maintainers (or someone here) should set up a regular job to git pull the repo every night.
