Enshittification of GitHub?
Enshittification of GitHub?
First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.
It was a nice run
You're viewing a single thread.
Honestly for selfhosters, I can't recommend enough setting up an instance of Gitea. You'll be very happy hosting your code and such there, then just replicate it to github or something if you want it on the big platforms.
Just so you're aware, Gitea was taken over by a for-profit company. Which is why it was forked and Forgejo was formed. If you don't use Github as a matter of principle, then you should switch to Forgejo instead.
Damnit of course it was. Thanks for letting me know, now I'll have to redo my 100+ repos.
If there’s a fork, it’ll probably be an easy migration/in-place upgrade.
My understanding is the fork isn't doing much but waiting to see if gitea turns to shit, pushing all their changes upstream. If you use docker I've heard you can just pull the new image and it simply drops in, no migration needed.
did they get federation working?
Nothing usable yet unfortunately, but they seem to be making good progress: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
Thanks for the link! As long as it's being worked on I feel comfortable spinning up an instance. I've been meaning to do gitea for a while so I'm glad I waited.
Thanks for the info
Oh man, thanks for this. I had no idea, having used gitea for years now.
Forgejo for you chap.
Honestly I'm kind of surprised that Gitea is still being recommended on Lemmy, it's been a while since Gitea was acquired and the community has been raging since. Lemmy is regressing
Lemmy is regressing
it is not lol, you are just realising that you are not part of any elite for the simple reason of using it
+1 for Gitea. It's super lightweight, and works really well! I recently switched to Gitlab simply because I wanted experience with hosting it, but Gitea is much lighter and easier to use.
Forgejo please. Gitea was acquired by a for-profit company
I had no idea what Forgejo was and assumed you were calling me a derogatory term 😂 thanks though, I’ll look into Forgejo next time I need to switch Git platforms
Does it have any features that github doesn't?
Its pretty good, for most people there isn't anything missing
