Problem is when looking for a job. 3/4 of what I have been applying for asks for a github link to your projects and won’t accept something that doesn’t match ‘github.com’.
Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why

If Github just kills repos without explanation, then using Github for anything is a mistake.

Just make mirror repos.

Let me preface with the fact that I know nothing about Git or GitHub. Could you just have one “project” and have the readme be links to your Codeberg/Forgejo/GitTea projects?
caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Most big open-source projects have a GitHub mirror with a link to the real project.

Yes that can be done.

And now you know why Microsoft bought it. Nothing better than a captive user base.

Is this for real? That’s incredibly stupid.
Adalast@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Can confirm, both true and stupid.

You can still have mirrors of your stuff on GitHub and push there, just have your primary forge be a different place.

My answer to those is always “i code for money, I don’t code in my free time”

The question however is: where should one move then? I’m genuinely asking since moving away from Github is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now but didn’t have the time to search for alternatives.
The only one I know about is Codeberg, which could work for most but not all of my projects (for now at least). Anyone here knows other tried and tested platforms worth looking into? Preferably free as I’m not in a position to pay for this stuff at the moment.

I’ve seen many FOSS projects use gitlab
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Didn’t know about SourceHut though it would have to wait until I find a job. GitLab on the other hand could work. I’ll keep those in mind at least, thanks!

The moment Microsoft bought it people should have started coding somewhere else. It’s just like everything Microsoft buys, it gets the Microsoft touch, survives for a bit, they make something to replace it and it’s gone forever.

This! Codeberg, Forjego, Gitea, or bust at this point.

I’m OOTL. Why don’t people recommend GitLab?
rickrolled767@ttrpg.network 8 hours ago
I remember when Microsoft first bought GitHub there was a pretty huge push to get off of it and onto gitlab.
Is there a reason gitlab isn’t recommended anymore?

I’ve stumbled upon plenty of projects that migrated to alternative platforms. If anything, this may just further accelerate the process.

genuinely. it’s been 8 years, ya’ll have only yourselves to blame.
