I recently came across another forgejo instance: https://lavaforge.org/. Seems decent.
interesting!
codeberg is such an obvious choice, i have no idea why people don’t immediately switch from GitHub
They don’t allow for private repos, so it’s a non-starter for companies unless they want to self-host.
What? All my codeberg repos are private.
If you do not want anyone (apart from your fellow collaborators) to see your repositories, mark your repository as “Private”.
There are terms and conditions for private people too regarding this (read next two sections): https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#before-i-start-using-codeberg
I love codeberg but can’t move my private, non-foss repos there. FOSS repos for sure though.
it’s very understandable though, and 100MB is a lot of data
it’s a lot of code, not a lot of data. If any repo has binary files you’ll most likely need to store it somewhere else as there’s not even an option to pay that used storage.
Because not everyone works on free software (read their FAQ)
they also have a limit of 100 repos, so I can’t even migrate everything I have on github
NOTE: URLs written in italics are unofficial/self-hosted instances of their respective version control systems.
- Forgejo (https://codeberg.org/) and Gitea (https://tildegit.org/) are great.
- sourcehut (https://sr.ht/) is fantastic, and also offers Mercurial hosting.
- source.community (gemini://source.community) is interesting.
- Fossil (https://code.rosaelefanten.org/) is also interesting, and doesn’t use Git.
- Savannah (https://savannah.nongnu.org/) is the version control system used by the FSF and the GNU project. Uses CVS and Git, with ViewVC and cgit frontends. You must make regular commits, otherwise your account may be pruned.
Check out Forgejo, it’s what codeberg uses as far as im aware. They’re the only ones even attempting to put the fediverse into git
Radicle is really worth checking out https://radicle.xyz/
Sourcehut: https://sr.ht/
+1 for Sourcehut
Don’t know if GitLab counts as alternative (it has no bullshit according to Brave Shields, and AFAIK they’re independent)
Brave has already had several leaks and a history of selling data, that’s why I switched to LibreWolf.
Selfhosted Gitea ?
Probably codeberg, or gitea instance somewhere
Yes, git.
Same as in the other thread, I’m going to recommend fossil-scm.org
Works for me.
Fossil requires its own download client (not git) and like the other guy said Forgejo only accepts certain licenses, Gitea is Google which is obviously a no-go.
Gogs abandoned, Kallithea abandoned.
Realistically that leaves GitBucket https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket and Tuleap https://docs.tuleap.org/install.html
Can’t edit. Gogs I’m happy to see did receive security fixes 3 months ago. Also Gitea being a no-go…get it, no-go…hahah.
It is good and proper to hate Google services.
