We do have a federated GitHub alternative. Perhaps not too mature yet, but it does indeed exist. Forgejo

I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I've seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

Yup, I've been using Codeberg more over the past months.

Originally, it wasn't. Codeberg used to run Gitea. Forgejo is a fork of that, which came later.

Not really federated. You can't, for example, raise issues or set PR requests from another instance.

Yep its not nearly done....but I have a server and running through testing. git itself is fairly federated, but the support structures (PRs/MRs, review process, easy wiki/issue tracking, etc...) is where the real work is at.

I'm running a server as well, but have not tested federation (yet).

Nice! Them and gitea are really stable!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I thought codeberg was just a really well maintained and customized gitea instance...?

They have been doing so for a while now.
