Alternative github frontends?

  In run a personal instance of forgejo, love it.

  Everything I want regarding version control and workers. And more lightweight on the frontend side.

  forgejo.org

    +1 for Forgejo. Runs butter smooth even on not so high-end machines. You can even mirror your GitHub repos.

    Plus: It is not owned by a for-profit organization.

      I already self host my git server, I’m looking for an alternative front-end to browse github (because a lot of open source stuff still lives on it).

  GotHub seems to display basic GitHub stuff decently well.
  gh.whateveritworks.org

    This looks promising, but unfortunately the advertised just replace github.com with some alternative url doesn’t work. I can’t check the issues, wiki, etc, all pages give me error (except main repo url), eg:

    • gh.whateveritworks.org/libreddit/…/issues
    • gh.whateveritworks.org/libreddit/libreddit/wiki
    • gh.whateveritworks.org/libreddit/libreddit/pulls

  I mostly use GitHub through vscode’s terminal. They’ve got plenty of extensions/plugins for git/github

  Gitlab is quite good and used by a lot of open source developers.

  Github isn’t slow on my devices.

  Which os? There are plenty of third party apps for computer or mobile

    Ofc Firefox (on any OS). It might work better with a chromium based browser but I don’t use any of them.

      Why even browser? You can use native apps

  You should really try the GitHub CLI, it’s amazing. I only use the GUI for tweaking settings and browsing here and there. Everything else you can do from JetBrains / Viscose native, including PRs.

  I recently found github-wiki-see.page (Source) for wikis. It has the contents of the wikis with basic formatting, so it works, but it’s not made to be a frontend.

  Codeberg is great

  I think you’re asking for alternative front ends to git, rather than GitHub?

  I’m not sure if you want to retain access to Issues, Actions, Discussions and everything else on GitHub, but through another interface. Or if you’re asking to make a clean break from that data and ecosystem.

  If it’s the former, then I think it’s either the web app (which you don’t like), or the CLI (gh). If it’s the latter, then I think any of the other options mentioned by others will do.

  Depending on what you have a taste for, I seem to remember seeing this in Emacs:

  github.com/magit/forge
