F$%k BorgSoft and their rampant enshittification of HitGub. I can't login without setting up 2FA (two-factor authentication). Not even to open an issue. Not even to comment on an open issue.
If you are involved in a Free Code project that's still on HitGub, please, *please* move your development to a human-respecting code forge (CodeBerg is great and I hear good things about SourceHut, just saying).
Why do I say this? Read on...

Here are HitGub's 2FA options;
* use an "authenticator app"
* give HitGub (and therefore BorgSoft) a phone number. Yeah, nah.
So I found an authenticator app on F-Droid and followed the instructions. No joy. These f$%king corporate DataFarmers have made 2FA compulsory, and then made it painful to use without giving them our phone number.
HitGub has never been fully Open Source itself, now it's holding our shared software hostage to extort our personal information. Get Out!
