I always wonder what GitHub has that Codeberg doesn't. It's a shame this isn't as popular. It seems like developers, of all people, are willingly letting their code be AI piggybacked.

Lock-in for compliance? There's a ton of integrations into things like Vanta.

conversely, what's the purpose of using Codeberg over Github?

For me so far the biggest thing holding me back is the lack of CI/CD.

Network effects and a corporate offering, I'd think.

Also matthew affect, platforms that started early and got popular, tends to get more popular.

Codeberg might be getting more popular, but the slope of growth from Github is way higher than theirs.

> It seems like developers, of all people, are willingly letting their code be AI piggybacked. Is Codeberg actually effective at preventing crawling of public code they host?

I think the point is more about GitHubs/Microsofts own Copilot

An incredibly generous free tier offering for CI/CD

That and I don't feel as guilty putting my hare brained nonsensical half baked at best personal projects that nobody other than me will ever clone on GitHub.

"Everybody" is on GitHub. For Codeberg contributors, bug reporters, ... probably got to register first.

Also: GitHub is so established that for many people git and GitHub are the same thing.

Codeberg doesn't allow any projects that aren't FOSS. Personally I use Gitlab.

Not quite: Codeberg discourages you from having too many closed source projects, but you can absolutely have private repositories. I have several.

They explain the rules here: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-pri...

That would be it. It's why I started with BitBucket. Because Github didn't allow for private repositories on the free tier at the time.
