Yeah I’m into Gitness
Gitness goddamn code to compile
There hasn’t been a new Git repo launch in almost a decade
Am I the only person annoyed they seem to mistake repositories for forges? It’s already annoying when casual users say “git” for “GitHub”, but those guys actually want to build a forge, explaining they’re going to do better than anyone else. Maybe start by properly using the terms?
I complained when the term “crypto” was co-opted. Come die with me on this hill where we care about things.
Seems fast compared to self-hosted GitLab or Bitbucket. I don’t see a way to add an ssh key or gpg key for code signing. No dark mode so expect to burn your retinas out in the middle of the night. I’ll wait until it’s a little more fleshed out before thinking about replacing Gitea in my network, though.
How’s it compare to gitea?
I found it much more barebones in my tinkering. It doesn’t seem to support pulling via SSH (and definitely doesn’t support signing commits). Configuration options appear extremely limited, both in documentation and the UI.
It looks nice, but I don’t really see the point to it when Gitea Actions is now a thing. Gitea is a more mature product, and is similarly fast and lightweight.
Edit: s/Gitea/Forgejo. Gitea has moved to a for-profit model since I made this comment.
Gitea and Forgejo are the way to go. Especially Forgejo which is working on federation just like Lemmy but for Forgejo repos and instances.
