Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot (www.phoronix.com)

The Gentoo Linux project last year announced plans to move their code hosting to Codeberg rather than GitHub. Gentoo's desire to move away from GitHub was motivated by Microsoft's Copilot training on GitHub repositories. Those plans are turning into action now with the main Gentoo project up on Codeberg and honoring pull requests.

Gentoo announced today they now have a presence on Codeberg and are welcoming code contributions there as an alternative to GitHub. Initially it's their ebuild repository being hosted on Codeberg while eventually all Gentoo GitHub repositories will be migrated. Codeberg is based on Forgejo and hosted in Germany as a non-profit.

I wish that the default answer to Microsoft making GitHub even worse would not be to just move to a different third-party provider which can do whatever it wants.

Isn't Codeberg self-hostable?

Edit: Got Codeberg and Forgejo mixed up. Also, Codeberg is owned by a non-profit ~~for now~~ so it's probably going to take a lot longer to enshittify.
