I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
I still remember Atom.

#62GitHub will now fall under Microsoft's CoreAI team, which give some indication of GitHub's purpose and direction going forward.
right ... wtf We could barely convince the reviewers on the last review that using GitHub is okay as long as we take some extra steps, I guess we should prepare to switch to a different platform with the next review.
reviewers?

#63Looks like the goal is to turn Github into an "agent factory". And they still can't even support IPv6.

The industry has collectively decided that AI is the future of all of software development, so this move shouldn't be a surprise.

#65Yeah, GitHub is cooked. Now's a good time to consider migrating to alternative forges like Tangled ( https://tangled.sh ; bit of a shameless plug, I'll admit. I'm the co-founder). We've got a more advanced PR flow, jujutsu change-id support and we just launched our in-house CI! https://blog.tangled.sh/ci Long-term, we aim to be the new social coding platform, collectively built in the open.
Damn, why all the downvotes?

#66GitHub will now fall under Microsoft's CoreAI team, which give some indication of GitHub's purpose and direction going forward.
Some more indication:
> “Just like how Bill [Gates] had this idea of Microsoft being a bunch of software developers building a bunch of software, I want our platform, for any enterprise or any organization, to be able to be the thing they turn into their own agent factory,” said Parikh [the CoreAI team lead].
That Bill Gates analogy seems rather far-fetched, though.

You mean all of Microsoft's direction? Look at how VSCode changelogs have morphed from editing features to 90% AI.

GitLab is great - but super fat. The performance will suffer heavily if you don't give it the resources it wants (all RAM you can find, lol). If you only need Git plus project tracking Gitea is super mature. It runs happily on small VPS.
Gitea is neat, and the Actions compatibility is promising. Though I’d suggest a fork, Forgejo: https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/
I want to signal boost the following quote from the URL above:
> Forgejo was created in October 2022 after a for profit company took over the Gitea project. It exists under the umbrella of a non-profit organization, Codeberg e.V. and is developed in the interest of the general public. In the year that followed, this difference in governance led to choices that made Forgejo significantly and durably different from Gitea.
If you take it at face value (at your peril), Gitea is about to start enshittification, while Forgejo will not at any point. My personal opinion, is that this is credible.

I prefer Forgejo, but both it and Gitea support actions like GitHub's. You can have a nice CI/CD pipeline that runs 100% in-house, for free. I adore it for personal projects.
> Gitea support actions like GitHub's Citation needed. nektos/act is for sure not "like GitHub's"
Yes it is. It's not identical, but it is "like" it.
