Codeberg has a git "ci" possibility (woodpecker?). What is missing?
People. Most people are still on GitHub and don't see things on Codeberg / GitLab nor are they willing to create an account. It's a classic case of the network effect.
Exactly. I'm looking forward to forgejo federation.
Not all actions run on it.
Also, GitHub infrastructure is free and really performance, that's why I use it even if I have my own for server.
Also, discoverability. For the projects that I want to show to the world, GitHub is best, since it's most likely people see it there.
Free like in Microsoft free...
For the discoverability I totally understand, but it's a behemoth, it should be split up IMO.
On a side note, I have never had any performance problems with Codeberg, but my projects aren't that big.
Selfhosted ci works well, but the GitHub ci is so fast it's not even funny. At least compared to my selfhosted stuff which is arguably cheap
Fair enough!
Is the CI free?
Yes
