    The idea of “self-hosting” git is so incredibly weird to me. Somehow GitHub managed to convince everyone that Git requires some kind of backend service. Meanwhile, I just push private repos to a bare repository on my NAS via SSH.

      They didn’t convince anyone of anything, they just have a great service. You can also self-hosted Github if you want the features they offer, besides Git.

        A great service for what? If you’re a solo developer storing your code locally with no intention to share or collaborate, a self-hosted service adds a ton of complexity for very little value.

        Frankly, I suspect a ton of folks simply don’t realize that you don’t need a service to push/pull remote got repositories because they largely cargo cult their way through source control.

      You’re completely missing the point. Even Gitea (much simpler than GitHub, nevermind GitLab) is much more than a git backend. It’s viewable in a browser, renders markdown, has integrated CI functionality, and so on.

      Even for my meager self-host use-case, being able to view markdown docs in the browser is useful from time to time, even on my phone.

      As for the things I use (a self-hosted) GitLab instance at work for… that doesn’t even scratch the surface.

        Do you honestly think they’re “completely missing the point”? Read the meme. There’s no mention of gitea. Self-hosting git is nothing to wiggle your tie over. Maybe setting up the things you are talking about are, but git?

      Bare repos with multiple users are a bit of a hassle because of file permissions. It works, and works well, as long as you set things up right and have clear processes. But god help you if you don’t.

      I find that with multiple users the safest way is to set up/use a service. Plus you get a lot of extra features like issue tracking and stuff.

      • zaphod@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Agreed, which is why you’ll find in a subsequent comment I allow for the fact that in a multi-year scenario, a support service on top of Git makes real sense.

    I love it when I check out am applicants’ GitHub and run into a bunch of repositories with mods for hentai games.

    source
    • CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I mean…are they good mods? Does the candidate have good code etiquette?

      Honestly, the fact that a candidate would mod any game, let alone a hentai game, would be pluses in my book.

        I definitely do not count it against them as long as they know how to human at the interview. I just review the code as I would any repo.

        The only thing is that with regular projects I tend to go “I noticed on your GitHub you have project X that uses technology Y, etc etc”. With H projects I just go “do you have experience with Y” and let him choose how much he wants to share about the project. So far they remain vague on the non technical details and I let them leave with their dignity intact.

        So, ranked, way ahead of candidates without visible projects, but slightly behind people with projects we can discuss in detail in front of the people from HR ;)

      Thank you for letting me know. As you might guess English is not my first language. Always appreciate these inputs.

        lol, I have no idea why someone down voted you.

        But yea, the plural of code in the context of programming scripts is just code, but if you were to talk about codes like a code to get into a door pin-pad, it has an “s” at the end for plural. To be honest, I’m sure there’s plenty of native English speakers not in the tech world that would likely also call it “codes” when talking about programming.

      I was aware of forgejo back when I first started hosting Gitea. Didn’t see much of a diff back then so I just went with arguably more popular option at that time.

      About few months after it’s mostly just because I’m too lazy of a person.

      source
      • rufus@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Forgejo is a fork of Gitea. As of now I don’t think they have diverged much. So they’re about the same. It was mainly created because of the takeover of the domain and trademark by a for profit company. Not because of different functionality.

    The trick is to switch to forgejo

    • BOFH666@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Absolutely!

      Running local, self hosted forgejo with a few runners.

      Now my code is neatly checked with pre-commit and linters, build when new tags are pushed, renovate is scheduled every 24 hours to check for new releases of stuff etc.

      Just a few containers and a happy user :-)

        Thanks! I’m a Gitea user for years and was not aware of this. I was planning my own Gitea server, I will now forgo gitea for forgejo.

        Exactly. I’d always go for Forgejo over Gitea now, especially since even Codeberg uses it (and I trust them)
