So I need to know, my fellow developers. Do you host your own local git/repo server or just use GitHub/GitLab.com/Codeberg?

I currently host my own forgejo server, but it does make syncing things and maintaining things a little more hassle. I am just curious what others do?

@hack13 I have a forgejo I'm moving things to for some of my personal development. Work uses a self-hosted GitLab. I do most of my collab project work on GitHub.

@hack13 I truly wish that federating forges was a thing.

@hack13 it's currently a bit of a mess for me too.
I moved my main stuff from github to codeberg. I also deleted most of the stuff from gitlab. I was basically only supporting gitlab, because it was an alternative to github, but I never liked the UX. I moved the stuff to codeberg as well.

The base issue of all is, that you can't contribute without an account, so I don't want to self host any of the tools, but I should I have unity and Godot projects and they go over the quota rather quickly.

@hack13 I did always have an hosted git instance but with different software.

What I am trying to do tho it's to sync the code in different platform but yeah it's chaos. Like everything is mixed up but I am trying to have everything by default on my personal forgejo instance and then have a copy on github, either in a private repo or public depending of the project.

But when someone want to contribute in general it come from github. Didn't have someone who contribute to an out of sync project on github so it's ok.

@hack13 I'm hosting my own Forgejo, which I moved to after using GitLab.

Forking others' repositories is definitely a hassle. I have some open-source libraries on my instance, but currently it's not really possible to contribute back. I'm waiting for Forgejo's ActivityPub implementation to be complete. :3

I just use GitHub, none of the self hosting options were worth the effort it took to deal with them in my opinion. I experimented with self hosting pijul before, but it wasn't mature enough to use at the time. I'm hopeful it'll be better at some point because the theory is really nice.

@hack13 moved from gitea back to GitHub when GH removed the private repo limit for orgs, but considering forgejo especially now that I hear there's federation (I hate needing to make a new account to post an issue/pr, I don't want to inflict that on others)
