This looks suspiciously like a spam campaign to fish for users desperate enough to go anywhere but bitbucket.

SourceHut / Sir_Cmpwn deserves all the support he can get. I don't know if you realize that this guy is earning 10 times less that what he could earn by accepting any of the job knocking at his door. But instead he chose to be a full time free & open source developer financed only by people donations and SourceHut (which is 100% open source too) Moreover there is very frequently on HN "Github is introducing feature X…

Obviously independent developers are supposed to slave away at big companies that pradvertise their products on HN, not make attempts to escape and work for themselves - at most they can work passionately for a VC-backed startup on some free product until that is bought by one of said big companies for reasons unknown. But working for oneself independently is immoral and something to be frowned upon.

They violently break all the recent frontend best practices. Where is the React or Vie, SPA architecture, tons of JS? There should be a federal law prohibiting making fast and simple UIs so that nobody will have concerns that the UI frameworks war leads us to great future.

OMG! A web server serving raw HTML ! The horror!

Excuse-me but you're supposed to call that Server-Side Rendering now.

To be fair, not having any of those technologies is just a side effect of deciding to make a dead simple, spartan UI (which isn't a bad thing). You can get away with very fast, very maintainable front-end code that doesn't need any special frameworks when you say no to modern tastes and features. More websites should really consider doing so. One of the things that breaks my heart just a little is visiting these site…

And it would kill them to write a decent CSS file?

I know you said GUI, but this single-line git alias that goes in ~/.gitconfig changed my life and I don't look for a git GUI anymore: [alias] l = log --date-order --date=iso --graph --full-history --all --pretty=format:'%x08%x09%C(red)%h %C(cyan)%ad%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08%x08 %C(bold blue)%aN%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d %C(reset)%s' Next, go to one of your git project directories and ty…

How on earth did you create that format string? That alias generates really nice output!

It appears to have come from this guy, here is the original gist: https://gist.github.com/msroot/6206676

When you register, you notice that: > Notice: sr.ht is currently in alpha, and the quality of the service reflects that. As such, payment is currently optional, and only encouraged for users who want to support the ongoing development of the site. Caveat emptor.

For more details on what the alpha entails, see also: https://sourcehut.org/alpha-details/

Is that page in a repo somewhere? There’s a typo or two to fix.

I'm sorry, sarcasm is not the best way to communicate an important point here at Hacker News. I appreciate the attempt at humor, but, it's not funny.

The downvotes on this sadden me greatly.

Don't worry, they're sarcastic downvotes. ;)

Starting using Sourcehut a few days ago for two repos and have had a good experience so far (being a new paid user is my only affiliation with sr.ht):

- Very clean, simple UI/UX providing deceptively rich feature set

- A build system among the easiest I've used

- Solid, straightforward documentation

Currently it's a little slow to push to repos but the creator says it's a known problem with ongoing regular improvements occurring.

I'm a long time GitHub user with many repos there and there are lots of GH features I like (like Org Mode READMEs). But I'm a big fan of this sort of business model: someone puts together a simple, solid, independent service; I pay a small amount monthly/yearly (I chose to pay voluntarily even though it's currently optional).

I hope this service thrives.

Agreed on this. Opened the page and it immediately made me think of a phishing campaign or a cheap knock off site.

I can't quite put my finger on which design detail is contributing to that impression, but the page as a whole is definitely giving that feeling.

There are a few good things about it compared to git (and a few bad ones). One I like is that it has an excellent GUI that is cross platform, called TortoiseHg. I know hackers can be a bit snobbish about GUIs but I really think a GUI is essential for version control: flicking through the revision graph in one pane while looking at the modified files in another and a file's changes in a third is much more efficient th…

Most of the people in my office use SmartGit[1]. It seems pretty powerful, it supports worktrees, and I like how it has a window that shows the actual commands that it's running. [1] https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/

We use it at work as well. It's a bit ponderous when starting, being written in Java, but has a very good conflict merge window.
