We need decentralized forge such as radicle.dev to become more mainstream and people seeding tons of repo!
22 hoursThe right time to look elsewhere was when Microsoft bought it.
The next best time was when viable alternatives like GitLab and later, Codeberg appeared.
The next best time was when it became clear that they were stealing your code to feed into their sparkly autocomplete and were going to sell it back to you.
The next best time was when they dumped a bunch of vibecoded garbage into the codebase and killed the uptime.
The next best time is now.
You don’t even have to migrate all your stuff. Just start all your new projects on Codeberg, or GitLab, or something self-hosted. Once you get used to the new place, you can migrate your old stuff when you’re ready.
This is exactly it, Microsoft always makes things about themselves. They change everything, mostly for the worse.

Federated git forges can’t come fast enough. Fuck gitlab for so willingly dropping the ball

Unicorn error!
But the big issue for me is the authwalls. I’ll migrate when we have a good replacement on the fediverse, when PRs and issue comments can be made from different instances

Breaking: Water is wet. Read the in-depth analysis on why you should have gotten a boat years ago and why you should still get one now!
But wait, there’s more: a gigantic colony of Microtards that don’t understand why the water is wet, and they don’t care!

Al I the only one that needs to press F5 to get github to load after entering github.com in the browser? It only happen with github.

I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn’t push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.
Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn’t accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn’t find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them
Is your code free for others to do whatever the fuck they want to with it? : codeberg
Do you want to put certain restrictions (eg financial)? Gitlab
Codeberg doesn’t allow you to use AI with your repos. Even if it is just writing your docs for you.
Radicle is decentralised though!
Yeah, I don’t think I have a codeberg going at the moment because I want to do CC4NC.
There’s like some scripts I don’t mind people making derived commercial works since they’re fucking tiny, but other than that, I don’t want people getting rich off my code.
I also have lots of scripts I find handy but would never share. I just need a safe third party to host it.

I’ve used. It works well enough. They supposedly have CI but either it’s not documented or nor ready, I can’t tell.
And there’s no way to get notifications of merge requests, comments or anything actually, so it serves well as a backup or private project host, but not much else, IMO.

Self-hosted Forgejo works well for my own use. My employer is moving to GitHub Enterprise where it’s a separate instance per company with certain infra shared. Should be a slight improvement, I guess, though probably not a bad idea to make sure internal tooling is built with the git forge being configurable. 😉

I’ve been eyeing Gitea. Do you have any reason for using Forgejo that I might overlook Gitea in favor of it?
- melfie@lemmy.zipEnglish21 hours
I used to run Gitea and switched to Forgejo mainly because I prefer a community project over one run by a for-profit company. I never had any substantive complaints against Gitea during my time with it to be honest, but thought I’d get off of it before investing too much further in case it went in a bad direction.
- gdog05@lemmy.worldEnglish21 hours
That is a solid enough reason and one I wasn’t aware of. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find out, thank you!

The transition of gitea to chasing profits was pretty messy too iirc and motivated the forgejo fork. Gitea lost a lot of good-will back then. Forgejo is also the base that codeberg runs on now.

Moved to codeberg.org when that Microslop VP took over running github. I have nothing on the platform but my account so I can look at other stuff on the site.

Any alternatives with a good UI? Really don’t like the ones for codeberg or gitlab tbh, and GitHub is bearable
- flubba86@lemmy.worldEnglish19 hours
Honestly, for me the Forgejo/Codeberg UI is the best out there, I actually like it even better than GitHub. I think you just need to get used to it. If you had been using Codeberg the last 10 years and just discovered GitHub today, you’d take one look at it and say the UI is bad.
- _hovi_@lemmy.worldEnglish20 hours
For forgejo I’m actually not too sure - “feel” is vague but the best I’ve got, maybe someone more UI inclined has clearer thoughts on it. Or maybe I just need to get used to it. It’s certainly much better than Gitlab imo.

I could rant a lot about the GitHub UX, so here’s just the fairly obvious stuff on the repository page:
Red arrows mean duplicated information or duplicated navigational elements.
Green arrow means why the fuck do I have to tell our customers to click a random link in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, in order to download our software?
