I stumbled upon #Radicle, a decentralized #Git hosting/sharing solution: https://radicle.xyz. It provides a really good guide at https://radicle.xyz/guides/user.

Even as a hardcore fan of #Forgejo, I have to admit Radicle feels extremely well thought out. Might even be better than ForgeFed. Any thoughts? e.g. @Codeberg @jwildeboer

📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSE

Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.

What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.

The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse!

Yet they need HELP.

Been watching the #GitHub posts scroll by all day, and it only occurs to me now to re-up this 2022 blog post about how I started self-hosting my #git repositories as part of my website using GitWeb: https://fietkau.blog/2022/moving_from_github

It's a pretty eccentric solution that's definitely less convenient than hopping to Codeberg (which would be my recommendation if your projects need modern collaboration tools), but maybe it'll speak to some of you. 😇

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!

First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

https://idiomdrottning.org/hosting-git-repos

Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?

#GiveUpGitHub #SelfHosting #git #SSH #BareRepos

Next, have you tried a static site generator for browsing git repos? Here's a list of SSGs for git, sorted by latest commit (fresh to stale):

* reporat https://www.ratfactor.com/repos/reporat/
* git-arr https://blitiri.com.ar/p/git-arr/
* depp https://git.8pit.net/depp/
* itsy-gitsy https://git.trevorbentley.com/itsy-gitsy/file/README.md
* pgit https://pgit.pico.sh/
* stagit https://codemadness.org/git/stagit/file/README.html
* gituwa https://git.mcksp.com/gituwa/
* repo2html https://git.m455.casa/repo2html/

#GiveUpGitHub #git #SelfHosting #SSGs #StaticWebsites #StaticSiteGenerators

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

* https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug
* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

#GiveUpGitHub #git #BugTracking #issues #SelfHosting #GitBug

Finally, if you really need a full code forge, with issue tracking and everything, what is the simplest, most light-weight code forge you can self-host?

Is it Forgejo? "Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

That sounds great to me, but is Forgejo simple enough that I won't regret taking on the maintenance burden? Is there something even faster?

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t. Use @Codeberg.

Need #help

I installed #forgejo on a #jail. This jail was a centralized #git server.

I cannot find how to import local (in the jail) repos to forgejo.

If I try a migration from #git and give the repository path in the URL field the answer is:
Your not allowed to import local repository.

SO there must by a parameter to allow this kind of import.

I can't figure which one.

Can't your help me please?

Boost are welcome.

I liked keeping source code repositories much more when #subversion was used.

* This was tooted while waiting for a 1,5 GiB #git clone.

30 minutes later #git still not finished to clone the repository.

Is there software to checkout a #git repository with #subversion?
Is there a way to checkout a git respository (on a server) and provide it as subversion repository?

I know this is for a car, but many a thing cried out at a command line. 😅

Only four days to go until #socrates2025 starts. And also until I give a training session on #git. Looking forward to be there and give the training.

Also I'm getting nervous and can't wait the training session is over. To my surprise it took more time and energy to prepare then I had anticipated. And I'm still not totally happy with it. I realised two hours is not much time. And I hope I found a good way a round this. I'm curious how it works out. :)

🆕 blog! “Grinding down open source maintainers with AI”

Early one morning I received an email notification about a bug report to one of my open source projects. I like to be helpful and I want people who use my stuff to have a good time, so I gave it my attention. Here's what it said:

Help me fedi!

In bash or fish shell, is there some way to automatically get the pull/push status compared to origin repo when opening path?

Currently i have to manually fetch and i always forget to do so.

Even nicer would be somekind of periodic fetching like vscode has but in my terminal instead.

Halp!!

And How?

I cannot find a clear solution.

Any advice are welcome.

Thanks

Hey programmers! Did you know you can write a programming book in a GitHub repo and publish it on Leanpub, in Leanpub's GitHub writing mode?

It’s 2025 and to my great surprise, I’m about to recommend my customer to stick to #SVN for the versioning of their binary documents (KiCad, FreeCad, LabVIEW…):
• shared storage à la NextCloud is neat, but not enough to keep a proper changelog;
• #Git is not efficient with non-text files, and Git-LFS is a pain in the arse to deal with compared to SVN.

I have just become the old, grumpy guy who’s making a team stick to old tools.
Kill me.

Git is a tool I like, a lot. Before git, you could do RCS {& some others} which is a totally different tool set.

In this video Linus Torvalds talks about the way he created Git two+ decades ago.

What immediately Springs into view, is the fact that Linus gave control of the git project to someone else, as soon as he could he did not want to stay with the project for too long.

Git was created because of pure necessity; it was vital for kernel revision control

Two individuals are seated in a room with a warm, brownish background. The person on the left is wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, while the person on the right, Linus Torvalds, is dressed in a gray jacket and blue jeans. They are seated on chairs with a small table between them, which holds two glasses. The room has a cozy atmosphere with plants and a painting on the wall. The video player interface includes typical controls such as play/pause, volume, and a progress bar, along with icons for sharing, liking, and starring the video.

The screencap shows Linus Torvalds sitting at a table in a warm, indoor setting with large windows that allow natural light to fill the room. He is wearing a gray hoodie and has gray hair. The man is gesturing with his hands, suggesting he is engaged in a conversation or explaining git. The table has a glass container, possibly a water bottle, and a brown leather chair is visible. The background features a blurred view of greenery outside, indicating a peaceful environment. The overall atmosphere is calm and relaxed.
