I’ve heard the main two suggestions are Codeberg and Gitlab. However, there has been some mixed feelings about GitLab I’ve seen across the internet in regards to them being as FOSS as Bitwarden is with their “Open-Core” model. With Codeberg though, there was a recent major security issue.

I would just be curious to get other people’s thoughts throughout the community, and then I can decide where I want to migrate my repos.

    To be honest, I’m waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.

    I believe forgejo is getting there, but it’s still not possible.

      I’m also waiting for this to move some 500 repositories from GitHub to a realistic federated alternative. I follow up from a distance but don’t see much movement on ForgeFed for ForgeJo. Did I miss something?

      I’ve been using Codeberg for a while now, however their servers are not always up to par. I’ve been in situations where it takes forever to load content of the code base via their website, pushing to a repo was also really slow, upwards of 30 seconds.

      I know they’ve been DDOS’d a while back, but this was about a week ago and lasted for few days.

    If you don’t need the cicd stuff, Forjejo instances are really easy to spin up or use the ones online like codeberg.

        Thats great!

        But I think we need to look at it from the perspective of somebody migrating from GitHub. If OP is used to the GitHub GUI and uses it extensively in their workflow, they will probably be very frustrated while trying to do the same on sr.ht .

    Codeberg or any forgejo self hosted git instances.

    I like Fossil-SCM, so https://chiselapp.com is good for that. But if you want to stick to Git, Forgejo is the best open-source offering (and Codeberg is the most prominent instance). If you want to tread far off of the beaten path, https://hub.darcs.net might meet your needs.

    We’ll all benefit once the forgefed project is done, and Forgejo/Gitea/Gitlab can all interact with each other.

      Do you know how access rights management work on radicle?

      Last time I checked I could just add commits to any open PR…

      Luckily, the main repo is different, having a canonical version.

    Whatever the solution behind is, if you have the resources, move to something self-hosted. Open core or not, if that topic matters to you, you might need something you can own and control. BTW, have a look on Forgejo, Codeberg and Gitea: these are the solutions I see when people look for something FLOSS, not open core, and maybe self-hostable.

      Gitlab really pissed me off with their paid plans for work. We moved to GitHub, and while that’s not popular here, they offered everything we needed at nearly 1/4 the price.

      Gitlab kept saying $99/user per month, no way to have different “classes” of users at different paid plans. Just awful.

      I told them we were switching unless they came back with a fair offer. Ignored. Renewal time came up and I told them we weren’t renewing… Oh NOW they want to bargain and try to retain us??? F right off. Microsoft might be the devil, but they offer a good product for the price.

      I used to self host gitlab, but they kept putting things behind the pay wall. GG.

      Self hosting, Forgejo all the way!!
