[ANNOUNCE] CGIT v1.3 Released

[ANNOUNCE] CGIT v1.3 Released

It has been heartening to see the steady trickle of projects moving away from Microsoft GitHub to #FOSS friendly code forges like #Codeberg and #SourceHut, or self-hosting with tools like #cgit and #Forgejo

#Gentoo has been up and running on Codeberg all week which has made it easier for me to contribute to the O/S I use every day.

I'm now Proxy Maintainer for a handful of packages, including #VinylCache who also moved their bug tracker on Monday, making it possible for me to contribute 😀

A few years ago, I migrated my personal projects from #GitHub via self‑hosting (#Gitea, #Forgejo) to plain #SSH‑backed bare repositories and a read‑only web frontend (#cgit). What have I really lost?

I've lost much visibility, that's obvious. But I’ve also lost the low‑effort PRs, the hostile forks, and the hard to understand issues. For personal projects, that's a good trade‑off. The most important thing is to be able to link to a project and I still have that thanks to the #frontend.

IMHO its the only true usage of #git 🥳 Any other web hosted vendor lockin monster is only trying to exploit its users.

Hint: There are also tools like #cgit which makes exposing the repo to the web very easy.

Cannot understand people complaining about github politics. Just THROW IT AWAY and host it yourself 🤷‍♂️ Every self-hosted project is a win for true freedom and will help defeat far too mighty monopolys.

Thanks for showing how easy it actually is 👍

My #VServer rental is beginning to take shape.

This weekend I still need to set up #certbot, and then I can change my DNS entries from the current #GitHub Pages address to my #SelfHosting (if you can call it that while running on a rented VServer...) setup.

Next I'm planning to mirror my personal git projects, and to set up #cgit. Once that's up and running, I'll branch off, and put a last commit on all of the repos on Github, that informs about the move.
