10 sats \ 1 reply \ @adlai OP 8h \ parent \ on: Should I "Give Up Github"? devs
Thank you for the suggestions; if you have the time to read my post carefully, you might notice that the main problem I'm facing is the ostracism from the "social media" side of the site, and they haven't actually taken any steps preventing me from using the git repository hosting service... obviously, if I wish to avoid getting frog-boiled, then I shouldn't naively consider this some sacred unwritten covenant, and it is always a good idea to keep mirrors of code. I realise this fine point might not be obvious, given that the title, poll options, only hyperlink, and final paragraph are all simply about leaving Github.
However, the topic of specific alternatives for hosting repositories and related infrastructure is an important one; so I'll note here, both for my own future reference, and for anyone else seeking alternatives:
- Forgejo maintains a list of instances with open registration.
- Gitea Cloud is a fully managed Git hosting service powered by the lightweight and highly extensible Gitea platform.
Both of these places have communities that surround them--not the same way that git does, but I considered git effectively dead when Microsoft bought them. That's been some time ago. From my perspective, then, this is all "old news" and the fact you have been able to go this long without facing aspects of the problems you outline before now is a wonder.
