“It’s just possible that you, a sentient being with active sensory input, have cause for concern about the security of data hosted both in the United States and by Microsoft. GitHub has been ubiquitous and indispensable for technologists. But maybe it’s time to reconsider that status.”
I really hope that all these git hosts (codeberg, gitlab, gitea etc.) can get federation working for forks and issues. It would really make a compelling alternative to github if you could sign up an account on any git host and know that you can then contribute to any project hosted anywhere else without having to create an account on every service.
I absolutely agree. They are working on ForgeFed, but it takes a long time.
That would be great. Also the github app is fantastic. I want something like that to access all federated git hosts in one place.
There’s GitNex for Forgejo. It has a few bugs here and there and misses some functionality, but is good as a basic client.
What problems do you typically address using “the github app”, and how effectively do you think those problems get addressed? This is the first I’m hearing about a github app, so I’m interested in knowing more about it, especially since you have more direct experience with it than I do!
I’m comparing the github android app vs. a couple gitlab android apps vs. responsive web of github/gitlab. I’m not using forgejo, gitea, etc. much yet.
My main usage:
Imo nothing comes close to the ux of the native github app (yet).
