sourcehut is super confusing (programming.dev)

Anyone using soucehut (sr.ht)? Can you please explain to me how you navigate the site?

I really like the minimalist approach and extremely fast website UI, but I just cannot navigate the site.

If I'm looking at source of a repo on https://git.sr.ht/ and want to see open tickets, how do I navigate to https://todo.sr.ht/ ? If I click on "todo" at the top, it takes me to my todo lists, not todo of the project I was just looking at.

I don't navigate the site at all.

I just use the commandline to push commits to repos.

For creating a new repo on sr.ht I have written a script that uses the GraphQL API (which is horribly documented in my opinion and required days of trial and error). It is not meant for general users and is specific to my needs, but anyone who is interesred can find it linked below.

If you want to use it, you have to run git init and do a commit first. Everything else should be explained in the help. The script does some other stuff that I wanted when migrating all my projects from github, which you should be able to easily modify.

Create a new repo locally.

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

Then to create a new remote repo, you can do this.

git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~user/my-new-repo
git push origin main

You'll get a message that says.

remote: 
remote:         NOTICE
remote: 
remote:         You have pushed to a repository which did not exist. ~user/my-new-repo
remote:         has been created automatically. You can re-configure or delete this

You forgot a small detail.

Afaik you can not change repo visibility this way (without using the web UI or the GraphQL API). So if the goal is to avoid the web UI you'd have to add a step (which you can read up on in the script I shared).

Same for the repo description (but maybe there is a git native way, idk).

Great write up otherwise, thank you!

but the question is about navigating to tickets

I would have known that if I had the attention span to read all that text from OP
