> Additionally, GitHub seems to encourage a "push model" in which you are notified when a new event occurs in your project(s), but I don't want to work with that model. Instead, I prefer it to work as a "pull model", so I only get updates when I specifically look for them. This model would also allow me to easily work offline. Unfortunately, I see that the same push model has been copied to alternative forges. Someon…

I would say it is time/life management: push tells you to do something now. In pull I check each Friday afternoon what's up in my hobby project and work on it for a few hours and then call it a day and be uninterrupted till next week.

To me, this sounds like a good change. And FWIW, I an finding I am using dillo more and more these days.

I went to gitlab from github due to Microsoft changes, my needs are very simple so far gitlab seems OK.

I also mirror just the current source on sdf.org via gopher. If gitlab causes issues this could very well become my main site.

We are in the disapora phase; there is a steady stream of these announcements, each with a different GitHub alternative. I speculate that within a few months, the communities will have settled on a single dominant one. I'm curious if it will be one of the existing ones, or something new. Perhaps a well-known company or individual will announce one; it will have good marketing, and dominate.

Hah, exactly what we’re attempting with Tangled! Some big announcements to come fairly soon. We’re positioning ourselves to be the next social collab platform—focused solely on indies & communities.

I've been messing around with GitLab as a self hosted alternative for a few years. I do like it, but it is resource intensive! For the past few days I've been playing with Forgejo (from the Codeberg people). It is fantastic. The biggest difference is memory usage. GitLab is Ruby on Rails and over a dozen services (gitlab itself, then nginx, postgrest, prometheus, etc). Forgejo is written in go and is a single binary.…

If you want even more minimal, Gerrit is structured as a Java app with no external dependencies like databases, and stores all it's configuration and runtime information on the filesystem, mostly as data structures in the git repos.

Shared filesystems is all you need to scale/replicate it, and it also makes the backup process quite simple.

The bigger question is whether we want a single dominant replacement, or whether it just means we'll be back in the same place in 5 years.

It's a shame that GitHub won the CI race by sheer force of popularity and it propagates its questionable design decisions. I wish more VCS platforms would base their CI systems on Gitlab, which is much much better than GitHub actions.
