What is the best decentralized option? Codeberg?
I’m just finally getting to the point in my skillset where github is something I use regularly. I’m definitely not posting anything I ever, If I ever, make it to anything owned by microslop.
codeberg’s fine, but it’s not decentralized. It’s a single org running a forgejo instance somewhere in europe. It also banned AI generated code and crypto projects. If you’re not doing either of those, codeberg is possibly the easiest way to get off github.
If you really want decentralized, you can look at radicle. Or you can self-host but that would be unwise if you’re new to it all.
I’m probably gonna go with codeberg. But I’m also anticipating a fascism-induced rift in the internet and I’d like to anticipate where the cool kids will be hanging out.
If you want to go utterly mad, you can use rngit https://reticulum.miraheze.org/wiki/Rngit and broadcast your git server using your own hardware over an entirely different “internet”. Then if the actual internet goes down, people can still send git patches
I think Codeberg is only appropriate for FOSS projects. If your project is FOSS, it’s probably great, if not, maybe GitLab?
If you’re actually after decentralized, forgejo (the forge that codeberg hosts) is probably what you want. Either that or, if you don’t actually need all the features of GitHub (Pull Requests, Continuous Integration, Issues, etc. via a web interface), you can just keep your git repo(s) in multiple remotes, you don’t need a dedicated forge.
I thought this was a (ace) sex joke until I saw the comm name
