Mr. Devault is serious about software craft. He's worth your $10 if you are considering. I am a early adopter of his works.

What I am currently doubting is whether there is enough niche of people like us who are willing to pay for these [non-mainstream] projects/devs for future sustainability.

The UI seems very usable. I wonder how the performance stacks up against something like gogs.

One of the main things I don't like is the email focus. I think one of the best things the modern git websites have done is replace email with merge requests which are just so much easier to use, tag, and search. I get that this is a tool made for those old devs who still want to do everything from mutt though.

There's no obvious way to donate from sourcehut.org.

You can set up (and pay for) an account here: https://meta.sr.ht/

If you don't want an account, there's some donation information here: https://drewdevault.com/backers

Balls, I thought this was really nice until I read your comment.

That patch page is pretty indecipherable.

As of posting, the info on this site is very lean, but going forward sourcehut seems to be the name for the software suite of the service 'sr.ht'. The linkage is implied by the quote on the site that " sr.ht is a hosted instance of sourcehut provided for your convenience ". The impetus behind the branding clarification seems to be this HN thread [1]. For more history, see the the debut announcement [2] and its corres…

I think this is a bad move.

There is already:

SourceTree

SourceView

SourceForge

TheSource

SourceCode

SourceDaddy

OutSource

By adding more "Source", you are just diluting value of source brand.

It will be interesting to see how many more "Source" untill we stop using Source at all?

Same is the thing with "Git" and Docker escaped this issue by prohibiting use of "Docker" in non docker owned companies.

GitHub, GitLab, Gitea. Those all work fine. As long as you can easily tell the difference between them.

Mercurial support, fuck yeah: https://hg.sr.ht/ This is the killer feature for me. Why Mercurial? Here’s a list of Mercurial features that I think are really cool: Revsets – a domain-specific language for querying your commits Templates – a domain-specific language for altering the output of almost every command. Putting together these two you can do things like this: http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/customising-…

It's also dying [1]. Git's the only version control system that's got legs [2].

> a domain-specific language for querying your commits Meanwhile I google "how to print commit history git" for the 100th time...

i threw this alias in my .gitconfig early on, and it's gotten the job done so far...

  hist = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset %s%C(yellow)%d%Creset %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset [%an]' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
