jk, we still love you Gitea ..for now
We all know who's the real steward of free software and federation
smiles in anticipation
legit had to draw the vector logo of Gogs for this, smh
edit: actually... it already exists, oopsie (ᵕ—ᴗ—) smh my head
Gitlab is also thinking of going to federation. It will be interesting as git is already a federated protocol, now our prs, follows, stars, ect will also be federated between different instances.
already a defeated protocol
Once again, SVN is victorious.
I will never bow down to the trunk!
Lol! Woops. I'm on my phone and it autocorrected.
Yea lol
Actually, what did you mean to say @mesamunefire@lemmy.world ? nvm
I recently looked this up again and it looks like the person who started the federation work in Gitlab got a new job and isn't really working on it any more. So sadly this seems to be on hold as Gitlab the company is not themselves investing staff-hours into federation.
Aww, this is a terrible day for rain...
That is too bad, but also at the same time I kind of lost hope for Gitlab after they jumped on the AI hype train, if they're going full corporate they probably wouldn't be a good candidate for Federation (both because other people would defederate them and because they wouldn't want to because competition).
I've read in some issue tracker that the gitbal guys aren't really interested in federation. It makes sense, they are a business. Seems that having push mirrors is a premium feature, so federation would go contrary.
I'd love to be proven wrong though.
Even a single security fuckup on the scale of GitLab's mistake earlier this year means I will not consider using their codebase.
I'd like to know how Forgejo is pronounced
Something like for-jay-yo.
From https://forgejo.org/faq/ :
Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.
Neat
ngl I thought it was pronounced for-geh-joe until I had gone on their website, I was stunned for a few minutes when I found out
But whatever, who speaks Esperanto anyway? 😛
Actually, are these 2 forks of another, when?
Yes forgejo was forked from gitea in 2022. It was a soft fork at first, but became a hard fork earlier this year.
Full story here: https://forgejo.org/2024-02-forking-forward/
Any more git bundles you should care about?
That's a pretty decent list, I actually can't remember many more, maybe I'd add Onedev, but I've been skeptical about it since it's gone more corporate, so idk.
Actually, are these 2 forks of another, when?
To be fair, the meme isn't exactly accurate, because the forking relationship is this:
undefined
Gogs
└ Gitea
└ Forgejo
But the colors just fit too good not to use this meme, so there you go lol
Radicle maybe
Good tip! Never gave it a better look. It solves a big issue I have, with centralized power. Local first is great!
Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)
edit: deleted for inaccurate info, don't consider my dumb rant O.o
I found it unfamiliar in the few times I saw it, but maybe it's worth giving a try
What is the diff between Forgejo, Gitea and Gogs?
From what I understand, both uses Gogs under the hood
Gogs started it originally, but was forked into Gitea years ago and hasn't seen much development since.
Forgejo is a newer fork of Gitea after the IP rights to Gitea were (secretly) transferred to a for-profit company and some of the developers started to turn the project into a commercial open-core one.
wdym "for now"?
Forgejo is a community owned fork of Gitea which is privately owned.
One day we can expect Gitea to pull the license for money as we see almost every private company do. Although I do hope they don't.
Isn't that the gogs story repeated?
I don't
Green Forgejo is typing...
That's pretty sad
Wait, so forgejo is already federated?
Not yet, but they are the ones actively working on it, so it will likely arrive there first. Still a few months out though.
Is this official? It'd be strange if it were only hosted on a random cloud storage provider
