Moved all my public GitHub repositories to @Codeberg ✅

See: https://codeberg.org/thomas.leister/

... and the private ones to @codefloe , because Codeberg is for open source licensed repos, only.

Feelin' good! 💪

By the way: You might think "why do you care? Open Source Software is Open Source Software - it does not matter it it's publicly available via GitHub or Codeberg."

Yes, it does.

1) it creates visibility for platforms other than GH

2) it makes users go to Codeberg.org instead of GitHub. This saves them from needing to go to Github, with all the tracking / bullshit involved.

3) it draws users away from GH. If enough people do it, they will maybe focus on the basics again and won't annoy us with AI crap.

4) we need to decentralize. Not hosting all our software on the same M$-powered platform is a necessary part of that.

@thomas I've just started coding in Python and Git was part of the recommended install process, but not sure why or what it does

@Canuckistanian Git is a version control system. It allows collaboration of multiple developers in the same thing. And if you're working alone, it enables you to create snapshots or earlier software versions and much more :)

It's really worth checking out!
