Unfortunately this will probably run afoul of Git's trademark: "In addition, you may not use any of the Marks as a syllable in a new word or as part of a portmanteau (e.g., "Gitalicious", "Gitpedia") used as a mark for a third-party product or service without Conservancy's written permission.

They almost certainly have permission to use the phrases that way.

I could have said that about Gogs years ago since a high school student made that in their spare time.

Once projects become open-source, the community usually takes over that work. Just like many others, the same could happen to this project, just like how interested contributors did so with the V language as soon as that was open-sourced.

I like the approach that sourcehut took overall. I would like to find a way to implement issue tracking into Git, but the mailing list approach isn't a bad idea.

Isn't that what Fossil does? https://www.fossil-scm.org/

Fossil does all kinds of awesome stuff out of the box, I remember looking at it and being blown away.

Strange. What about GitLab and Gitea? And probably others.

Good to see another open source git development platform. I am currently using sourcehut and am very happy with it. https://sourcehut.org/

They claim to be the fastest among all such platforms too.

Hi,

Author of V and Gitly here.

Gitly is currently in alpha, and works more like an example/documentation of the V web framework and V ORM.

You can't even sign in at the moment.

It will be launched this month. We're actually going to switch to Gitly CI, since Github Actions has been really slow for us.
