That post aged like wine.
The guy who put a timebomb in his software because Debian shipped an older version.
Probably a gas to collaborate with.

Did something happen recently that triggered this being posted now?

This is supposed to be from 2018? It looks like a 14 year old’s Geocities page from 2001.

It’s jwz. I’d say he’s earned it.

Time to move my lazy ass and finally do that migration I’ve been putting off.
What alternatives are you guys recommending? I’ve heard good things of Codeberg so far.
Jason2357@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Git is distributed by design, so I lean into that. I self-host, and use codeberg, and still collaborate with people who won’t leave github. Forgejo has built in pull or push mirrors that make it very easy, but you can also set multiple remotes in your local git repo.
Deestan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah migrating Git is as easy as it gets in my opinion :) Add remote, push, tada.

I hope I wont get brigaded, but of hosted options I like Gitlab. They are fairly transparent as a company, and I've used their community edition for work and private projects for nearly a decade.
Not just hosting, I like their CI/CD and devops features too.

Gitlab-the-company isn’t really much different from GitHub-the-company, to be honest.

I self host forgejo for my personal projects
I have not moved my open source stuff off gh.

I use Fossil (a DVCS that’s not Git-based) for most of my code. The main reason is that self-hosting (and keeping backups of) it is incredibly easy: One Fossil repository is one file. For those who absolutely require Git interaction for any reason, one-way mirrors are perfectly possible.

The best alternative is to selfhost forgejo (codeberg’s backend) which is libre unlike gitea. If you don’t have the hardware to selfhost, you can use codeberg itself.
tux0r@feddit.org 8 months ago
It depends on whether Git is a requirement. If it’s not, the infrastructure requirements for Forgejo are still higher than Darcshub or Fossil. If you’d like to have Git with a decent web interface, but you don’t absolutely need pull requests or whatever, Stagit is another lovely option.
