Github fediverse alternative
Github fediverse alternative
I am already self-hosting a lot of things for 15+ years now, including git, but I am looking for a solution like Github that is federalized (not Gitlab or the like).
I want people to be able to open issues, PRs, comment, fork or star without having to create an account on my server. Is there anything like that?
I saw radicle.xyz but I am not sure if that is what I want. Basically a lightweight git+ActivityPub + web frontend is what I am looking for. I think. No CI/CD or other fancy features required.
Gitea is looking into joining ActivityPub as the core framework is called.
Is it not a big no-no to use Gitea now since the commercial takeover? From what I understand, Forgejo is the safe option and I am glad to hear from the other comments that it is getting support for that through ForgeFed!
There was some drama with the main Forgejo developer that caused a bunch of drama and prompted him to "reboot" the community. I found it on HN a while back, but the drama itself happened in issues and discussions under the Forgejo project.
I know we're using codeberg for kbin.social
It's been a pretty decent experience so far, similar to GitHub but a little more basic. The markdown editor is my biggest gripe so far, it has weird backspace handling on mobile
Codeberg is using Forgejo, basically Gitea. You can change the editor, if you like with other editors if you host Forgejo or Gitea yourself. Features like CI/CD can be deactivated.
I think a federated version control system makes so much sense and I hope it will break open GitHub's (nearly) monopoly.
Completely agree! Please note that git itself is federated, well distributed, it's the rest of the stuff on top that needs to be fixed.
