I cannot wait for Gitea, Forgejo, and GitLab to start federating with each other via ActivityPub. Then we can all take one more step away from a corporate-controlled internet.
Or just host your own git repo and cut out the dependency entirely.

#52My repos were coming up as 404s. I was wondering if I had been canned...

Host a backup of your own code? It’s easy and can be done on a rpi. I wrote a go program in 1000 lines that automatically does this for me. And then I actually started using that as the main source and pushing the backup to github. It also pulls down anything i star into a different folder which get a sync one a day. The rest get a sync every hour.
There's also a tool called myrepos[0] that can be cronjobbed to keep local repos up to date 0: https://myrepos.branchable.com/
I like mine better because i wrote it :)

I'm a little confused, Gitlab is a publically traded corporation? https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GTLB:NASDAQ
Does that matter if it federates openly? Anyone can.

- 'one more step away from a corporate-controlled internet" Downvote me to grey-world if you like, but I think everyone's crazy to put all their code infrastructure in the hands of fucking Microsoft . Especially literal free open-source software. Who do you think Microsoft is? What do you know of Microsoft's history and their core values (they're "embrace, extinguish & exsanguinate"). It's like giving fucking Sauron…
But, I like the stock.

If only there was a decentralized system to allow version management of code.
I realize you're talking about git, but I think it's also pretty important to have a place where users can submit issues and dev's can say "it's fixed in version XYZ", these are not features of git. I've been meaning to give radicle a try.
You can host your own on your own site. Most major open source projects have their own website anyhow. They really don't need to be on github or gitlab to begin with, just roll it yourself like the rest of your website. The only reason why people do it is because its a meme at this point to have a github (and even gitlab, if only as a foil to github).

Fossil does this within the repo, maybe we need a way for Git to do so too.
Rather than making it a feature of git, it would probably be sufficient to have a tool that packed issues and PRs from the forge into the repo (in preparation to be migrated) and then unpacked them into the forge's API on the other side.

GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo are applications that can be easily self-hosted. One of those also has a corporation associated with it, but that has minimal effect in this case.

You'd still need some sort of centralized... hub to communicate and manage things.
Why do you need a centralized hub? Most repos on github are entirely unrelated to eachother. Repos can be self hosted. Issues can be tracked on your own website. You don't need a megacorp to run a website. If you are writing open source tooling you are more than qualified to roll your own here.
