There is a lot of trashing of #AI, but I have to stand here in its defence a bit. I have a number of problems or even projects which I have left on back burner for years (and perhaps forever) and I would never make them working without help of #Gemini or #Opencode.

See https://gitlab.com/bugseverywhere/bugseverywhere/-/tags/1.2.0, https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/pull/1499, https://git.sr.ht/~mcepl/m2crypto/commit/c808acd0a9 are all created with a lot of help from AI.

Do you know about git-bug?

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

@technomancy it's nice to learn about these alternatives but I don't think I've seen any that address the big draws of github, one of which is issues.

I few years ago I looked for decentralised alternatives to GitHub issues. I found gitbug which is very nice and was working quite well back then & able to import/export.

The was nothing else usable so I made a proof of concept for a web ui on top of #gitbug to show a #github like system working with decentralised #p2p storage. See #p2pgit
#git

@whynothugo Here's a more hands-on one from the #sourcehut folks: https://git-send-email.io/

After hosting my own #GitHub-style forge for many years (used #forgejo last), most of my private projects are now just plain ssh-hosted repos. Managing the ever growing complexity just stopped being worth it for me. #GitBug and #cgit (simple read-only web frontend) is all I need. Accepting patches/issues via mail only is not ideal, but not dealing with low-effort PRs and lazily filed issues is nice too.

@cas @pojntfx For what it's worth, I do agree we need something else.

Email is only slightly more resilient to censorship than full centralization.

I think accepting more centralization is a move in the wrong direction.

Is #GitBug the ultimate solution? I don't think so. It's the main one in development and usable right now though.

The corposcum PR apparatus pushing their centralized #SaaSS so hard hasn't helped, distracting many capable of coming up with decent alternatives from doing so.
