Lots of layoffs (“re-evaluating our operational footprint”) and switching to “agentic” processes. Target user is AI.
Anyone still hosting Gitlab?
Oh god that is so cringe. Just getting into coding i have no idea what to use as an online repo. I dont want to use github because microsoft but i want the basic repo collaboration features to be available cloning, pull requests, issues etc.
Codeberg, I can recommend
Isnt codeberg centralized? I worry it will run into the same issue as github. I was checking out Radicle but its cryptic and hard to search for other projects.
Codeberg is supporting forgejo which Codeberg is built on. Forgejo is ActivityPub powered git repositories. So imagine regular git, but everyone can have their own repos on their own sites and you can still interact with each other. So yes, Codeberg is centealized FOR NOW. But they’re working on opening it up to EVERYONE to run their own and be able to access all the repos you use over the Fediverse.
Will it be possible to have decentralized pull requests? Like I open a PR on my site, my friend reviews my PR on his site, and I get his reviews on my site?
This was always baked into basic git from the beginning if you review your code in E-Mail chains or mailing lists.
So not really baked in at all then?
lol I just created my gitlab account today to get away from github and after reading this the account has been scheduled for deletion and now I have a new account with Codeberg. When are these dipshits going to learn that we don’t want AI in our workflows? I am capable of breaking things on my own, but at least when I break things I will learn from it.
Selfhost
Yeah I could do that, I have never done it before though which is why I was looking for another remote to use. Are there any good guides/tools out there you would recommend?
Check out forgejo self hosting gitlab is overkill.
I just selfhost bare git repos on an ssh server
That’s a perfectly viable approach for users who aren’t interested in forge tooling and just need git push/pull capability.
