I wish people from #Codeberg and #Zenodo would collaborate to get the same clever integration features that allow people to preserve #GitHub releases at Zenodo. I bet people from the scientific community would like that. Is it too much to wish some big sciency inftrastructure group would fund this? ;-)

I'm going to archive stuff at Zenodo as I move out of GitHub.

@villares Another cool feature we currently need Github for are anonymised git repo (we have https://anonymous.4open.science for GitHub, but we need something equivalent for other git forges / repos).

@Alexandre B A Villares 🐍 IIUC this is already solved. Look for Software Heritage. Your code is very likely already backed up.

@aleabdo oh, Software Heritage is very cool, I knew it existed but I hadn't realized my stuff was there already!
I guess the nice thing about Zenodo is you get more control of the metadata and the DOI thing might be useful for citations.

@Alexandre B A Villares 🐍 With Software Heritage you get a SWHID, which is better than a DOI to cite software because it is verifiable and decentralized. It is an actual hash of the code. Indeed, code should preferably be cited via SWHID, not DOIs. This is explained here: #^https://www.softwareheritage.org/save-reference-research-software/
Saving Research Software: Supporting Open Science - Software Heritage

A simple three-step process saves your code and provides a Software Heritage ID (SWHID) down to a single line.
