Swapping github (MS) for bitbucket (Atlassian) is a completely sideways move. Atlassian will fuck you just as hard as MS will.

Can confirm.
Or Forgejo
Codeberg uses forgejo I believe.
I've been hosting Forgejo for a few months now, couldn't be happier.
Out of these options, Forgejo is my favorite for sure.
No one talking about Gitea?
Gitea suffers from corporate capture. Forgejo is the community fork primarily sponsored by the Codeburg nonprofit based out of Germany.
the video isnt playing for me, but i assume git.gay will be proclaimed as the best github alternative
I really like Source Hut. It forces you to learn how to use git with its built in patch and send via email system. Also they host gemini small web.
Forgejo is cool but I've been waiting for federation for years now.
Yeah that was the main thing that excited me about it - because I don't mainly use GitHub to have stuff publicly visible - I mainly use GitHub to contribute to specific projects and interact with specific people. Without federation, I can't do that if I self host.
I've been self-hosting forgejo for about 2 months for 3 people. Its been great so hard. We haven't set up actions yet so I can't talk to that capability, but everything has been great otherwise
been selfhosting gitlab for about 6 years now. I'm happy with it.
Claude talked me out of it multiple times bc of resource load but I feel like I'm constantly writing custom integration for forgejo to get parity. You using for hobbies or b2b production?
Y'all, it's Git.
If you're so paranoid that literally no PaaS is doing it for you, AND you don't care about the extra features for community interaction, just push to literally any other machines to keep copies.
If you need the public facing features, and you claim they are all terrible, make your own, or STFU already, my God. It's all UI on top of git.
what a dumb take. how do I tell a dev that there's a bug without codeberg or something similar ? How do I see what others have encountered? how can I see what changes other people are proposing?
we aren't all developers who are going to look at the source code. some of us actually want to donate, report bugs, and find other users
I guess mailing lists and something like the debian BTS is the old fashioned way, but agree that it has fallen out of time.
I had to look up mailing lists and that feels like something right out of the 90s. There's no way normal people use or are willing to use that. It looks terrible
It's actually not that bad, and I say that as a zoomer myself. Debian for example has mailing lists for many topics, where discussion happens. Then again they also use IRC for short messages.
I still prefer web based bug tracking systems, though.
But i like the gui tho
For private stuff, I just don't push it anywhere and use a separate backup program :P
