I'm joining the folk who #LeaveGitHub for alternative forges. I admit to mostly using it as an offsite backup service but I sometimes contribute. What are the viable new homes? I'm US based, long retired and a hobbyist, solo developer who doesn't mind paying reasonable fees for access.
Does anyone have recommendations or warnings re #GitLab #BitBucket #Codeberg #Sourcehut ?
Is there a #fossil SCM forge out there?
TIL you can host multiple sites on https://srht.site and I only just saw the paragraph:
"You can publish any number of websites to any number of domains on SourceHut pages. If you already published on your “username.srht.site” domain, you must publish again to any additional domains you want to use."
#SourceHut has been back up for me yesterday, so I took the chance to implement what I converted my new #ci #hugo build and #deploy script into a version that works on the `alpine/latest` CI runner which uses `bin/sh`...

Looks like that ddos against sourcehut is still ongoing. It really sucks seeing petty destructive actions like this. Support to all the staff working on containing it.
I love #Sourcehut. Sad to see them under coordinated prolonged DDoS attack. Infuriating.
Reminder to eat your vegetables, back up your data, and mirror your repos to #Codeberg and bare repos on your own cheap VPS somewhere
But definitely not GitHub booooo BOOOOOO
SourceHut was disrupted by a DDoS attack. Over the holidays SourceHut experienced a DDoS attack primarily targetting git.sr.ht. For a period of several hours we experienced severe performance issues and intermittent outages as a result, primarily affecting git.sr.ht. Our upstream network provider identified the malicious traffic and blackholed the appropriate routes, but due to a configuration error SourceHut’s AMS subnet was entirely null routed for a period of about one hour yesterday, causing a complete outage for all services. Once the configuration error was corrected, the DDoS continued to cause performance issues that primarily affected git.sr.ht, until the attack died down later yesterday afternoon.
Kind reminder that our #Dillo git repository is distributed among three different sites, all in sync:
- https://git.dillo-browser.org/dillo
- https://codeberg.org/dillo/dillo
- https://git.sr.ht/~dillo/dillo
Currently #Sourcehut is fighting a DDoS and the service is spotty: https://status.sr.ht/issues/2026-04-06-ddos-attack/
This is precisely why we have chosen a replicated set of git servers.
Another day, another service down/disrupted. My #Indiekit is hosted on Render's free tier (I'm looking to switch tbh but haven't gotten time yet).
It's down and I can't access my Indiekit NodeJS server 😓
PS. #SourceHut is still not back up. 😓
My blog #BurgeonLab relies on #SourceHut Git and Builds. They’ve been down and at first I couldn’t deploy my site to my static host, #Bunnynet.
This triggered me to create a local script that runs all the fetch/build steps as an alternative pathway to upload directly from my Mac instead of using the CI runner.
