Why does he keep calling GitHub a "forge"? Is calling a code repository a "forge" something common that I just haven't run across before?

I can’t get over the PR handling with git send-email. I know, it’s “how git is supposed to be used” or whatever, but it makes it just worse. I can’t decide if it’s worse or better than gerrit though. Every time I need to use gerrit for some google stuff, I want to punch my screen.
God man, Gerrit, I haven't heard that name in a looong time.
You don’t contribute to Google projects then.

Bitbucket dropped support due to to few people using it. Might be better to be agnostic about client tools?
Lack of support is exactly why a focus on mercurial is a good idea. It's a clear (and arguably superior) differentiator to all git based tools.
I fought on that hill for a while.
Re: I'm moving my projects off GitHub
#124I had a similar thought as OP, except I didnt just "move" the repos and delete on github.
Instead, the github mirrors now contain informative readmes with a helpful link to the sourcehut repos.
Why? Because unfortunately github is still considered as some sort of industry standard, and this is important for discoverability, voting/favouriting (stars) etc. It also allows someone to star the project on github to show their support.
