i was confused for way to long, trying to figure out
why a pilot would investigate a github alternative.

im an idiot 😂😂😂

He's not even experienced, he's new! Why's he the one we picked to investigate?

Compromised?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 18 points 11 months ago

This is the FOSS community, open up!

[-] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 14 points 11 months ago

I think they meant comprised?

[-] dewittlebook@lemdro.id 4 points 11 months ago

"Made up of" -> the non profit consists of software that must be free and open source..?

[-] Patch@feddit.uk 11 points 11 months ago

It's a typo. It should be "comprised".

[-] neshura@bookwormstory.social 13 points 11 months ago

Forgejo is developed by the people at Codeberg, they just rebranded their own Forgejo instance to Codeberg and added some extra around it (like Pages or the FAQ sections)

GitHub uses Git, and you don’t need any cool interface for Git, just a terminal. But we don’t like terminals, they’re ugly! Issues, pull requests, projects, wikis, actions… thanks to code management.

This guy doesn't git.

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 6 points 11 months ago

They’re compromised with free software

Lol

Noticed someone mentioning this (the product ) last weekend and did a next-next-finish install on some old hardware.

This is really nice, got me some nice actions running already.

I used to build locally and use git, cgit and Trac, but will probably move everything to forgejo.

Trac

That's a name I haven't heard in a looong time. I used to use a pre-1.0 version before GitHub became popular.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

I’m confused on the use of GitHub in schools, can’t they just host their own git?

Hah hahaha hahahahaha

Our school systems are admined by teachers with only half a clue of what they are doing with only a few hours per week as a budget. This isn't meant as an offense, math teachers that like to fiddle with computers in their free time are just not qualified to run the infrastructure for schools

afaik none of the current options offer fedi support.

Forgejo is a Fork of Gitea made because Gitea is managed by a For-Profit company. Their code is almost identical, in fact Forgejo is a drop-in replacement for Gitea. Gitea and Forgejo are (iirc) both working on the same federation support but Forgejo seems to be further ahead since they announced that they'll upstream the Federation code to Gitea.

[-] dan@upvote.au 6 points 11 months ago

What does being federated mean in this case? Git is already distributed. Is it just for discovery, or do you mean for things like issues and discussions?

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 9 points 11 months ago

You'll be able to (among other things) open a merge request from another instance. Gitlab and other source forges require you to create an account on each instance you want to contribute to.

[-] dan@upvote.au 8 points 11 months ago

That's a great use of federation. Thanks for the info.

[-] neshura@bookwormstory.social 8 points 11 months ago

exactl, issues, discussions, merge requests anything like that

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well at least they're going to usei something decent and not the Apache Allura crap.

Not of Github, but Gitlab is working towards it now.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

LMAO. That's hilarious, babe.
