Forgejo, the software project powering Codeberg, is working on adding federation but it’s got a long way to go before it’s a usable feature

I mean, this is more-or-less how the Linux kernel is managed.

Huh. Gitlab just said it’s too hard with their cut staffing numbers and they’re not doing federation.

Yeah, IRRC thus far they only have starring (not I starring, mind you) implemented and it’s not even in main yet

…git is federated. i’m assuming they’re talking about things like issues and runners, but i don’t think that’s really necessary…
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Gitlab just said
…git is federated
If you read it again, you may find I said gitlab and not just git.
And we won’t talk about how git’s decentralization is nothing like the concept of federation as it’s being used in this entire discussion.

we arleady had this discussion further down a few days ago
alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
As in the federation of Forges, like Forgejo is trying to do
lime@feddit.nu 8 months ago
yeah that’s what i don’t really understand. they’re like building a separate layer on top of git, when things like fossil exist.

It took a LONG time to get set up on one of my systems. It worked! Unfortunately, I found that just having git by itself was fine for my purposes. And most people are throwing in behind codeberg which is fine by me.
