And why?
Codeberg. Fully Libre
Codeberg. I host my web portfolio live there and even did a small contribution to kbin when it was alive. It’s great though now I’d want to look at forgejo.
When you say you host it live on Codeberg, do you mean something akin to GitHub pages? I didn’t know that existed
Thanks, I never knew this existed. Time to migrate my sites too.
Oh that’s so cool! Thanks for the link.
Yup, that’s what I mean
Codeberg for all my projects, both private and public. Some are mirrored to Github. Also Codeberg Pages and its Woodpecker CI.
Woodpecker CI.
Fucking YAML. Nope.
GitLab because for CI/CD is it far, far much user friendly and comfortable to use with GitLab CI compared to GitHub Actions and flows.
In addition I can integrate templates for CI/CD pipelines already defined with the To Be Continuous project (which is open source).
holy shit man
Seems to be container-dependent. I did too much security for that. Thanks, though.
Gitlab at work, because, well, it’s there and it works just fine.
Forgejo at home, because it’s far less resource hungry.
In the end Git is a) a command line tool for b) distributed working, so it really doesn’t matter much which central web service you put in place, you can always get your local copy via
git clone REPO.I used to self host Gitea, just private repos for university assignments and other personal projects that I was going to open source one day (I have a real problem with finishing things). Then a big storm hit where I live and the internet was out for 2 weeks (I could still use my phone if I stood in the right spot), over that time I was able to work locally but for when I was out and about I couldn’t collaborate on anything because I couldn’t access it so I begrudgingly moved to GitHub.
At least with GitHub I get very reliable and fast hosting even if everything I write is being fed to AI. Their search is also amazing.
I do plan, however on getting Forjego set up for private stuff again, because some stuff cannot be made public. When the day comes that I finish something and open source it, I’ll probably put it on Codeberg. Hopefully my project will be good enough that people are driven to join Codeberg to get involved.
As for my GitHub account, I won’t be able to ditch that so I may continue to fix random bugs and typos I come across. I wouldn’t want to impose my beliefs on someone else’s project
I use sourcehut.
I’m asking this because I’m self learning and new. Is there a place I can host my code? I’ve been build a pretty robust app in visual code Windows Forms C#. I don’t want to advertise or anything. I just want to have the code hosted as a backup
Github, Gitlab, Codeberg, Gitea
GitHub
Thanks. I’ll fuck around today with it. Can I make it private? And should I be concerned about people taking my ideas and or code?
If you use a service like GitHub you can make it private but be aware that the Info is still readable by the service provider. Not in a sense that they are gonna steal your idea (unless you invented a way to make good) but something like secrets passwords etc in your code.
I’d go for Codeberg, it’s free as in free speech and beer and is an open source project based on gitea. They are working at a federation protocol to make coop doable but without the need for a centralized provider v
GitLab, because it’s FOSS.
Why not Codeberg, cus its FOSS and run by a donation-funded nonprofit.
You cannot host non-foss code on Codeberg. That’s a possible reason.
Cool, I like it more now.
Same. Their policy is very reasonable in my opinion. They still allow non foss stuff for like personal config files which is nice. The only time I ever got a warning was when I uploaded a 100MB file to a private repo without any license. It was just a banner on the repo. (I was messing around with alpine images.)
I used GitLab for personal projects, and I use GitHub for contributing to other project
GitLab is partially open source, GitLab can be self-hosted while GitHub does not
GitLab. The CI is fantastic.
As much as I hate GitHub, for in-person projects involving multiple people I usually end up having no choice since they usually think GitHub is the most important programming tool ever and nothing I do is going to convince them to create an account on something that’s not GitHub.
For personal stuff I use Forgejo and disable everything except the code view, so I have a quick way to show people stuff I’m doing (for career reasons).
If I was doing a project with multiple people and actually got to chose the platform I would probably use Forgejo or Codeberg and make use of the project management features.
Pijul looks interesting but the ecosystem is very lacking and it doesn’t integrate well with Guix which I base a lot of my workflows around, so until this improves switching to pijul creates more problems than it fixes. The only other VCS and frontend I’m familiar with is GitLab which I don’t use anymore self-hosted since Forgejo is more performant and the main version randomly deleted all my repos and changed all sorts of stuff.
cgit also looks interesting, I might look into it.
GitLab which I don’t use anymore self-hosted
This. Gitlab swapped out the performant webeditor for a VCS clone that runs like a fucking dog all.the.time, and they’re in a phase where they just can’t control their memory consumption while they focus on whole-sale vendoring of shit projects inside the code – they’re actually considering bringing in pulp as if they can figure out 20 kind of artifact storage but RPMs are a special snowflake requiring the worst bloated pig of an add-on ever.
I need gitlab to get better as I really like their CI specification and how not-fucking-YAML it is.
self-hosted gitlab.
I love it. I can clone external repos on a schedule and build my projects based on my local cache. I’m even running some automation tasks like image deployments out of it too.
I can clone external repos on a schedule
Some cron deal?
pipeline schedules. once a month I clone the remote repo into a local branch, and push it back to my repo with an automatic merge request assigned to me. review & merge kicks off build pipeline.
I also use pipeline schedules to do my own ddns to route 53 using terraform. runs once every 15 minutes.
also once a week I’ve got about 50 container images I cache locally that I build my own images from.
pipeline schedules
Ah. Cron but from inside the garden. Okay.
No need to talk about containers. Having worked security (and build/rel) they present no net value.
cool.
Codeberg for public repositories, cgit (if that even counts) on my own server for private ones
gitea: lightweight, self hostable. preety neat. can also be customized https://git.nowhere.moe
forgejo is a fork made by a nonprofit and deals with security issues much quicker
