We all know who's the real steward of free software and federation
*smiles in anticipation*
legit had to draw the vector logo of Gogs for this, smh
edit: actually... it already exists, oopsie (ᵕ—ᴗ—) smh my head
Actually, are these 2 forks of another, when?
Yes forgejo was forked from gitea in 2022. It was a soft fork at first, but became a hard fork earlier this year.
Full story here: https://forgejo.org/2024-02-forking-forward/
What is the diff between Forgejo, Gitea and Gogs?
From what I understand, both uses Gogs under the hood
Gogs started it originally, but was forked into Gitea years ago and hasn't seen much development since.
Forgejo is a newer fork of Gitea after the IP rights to Gitea were (secretly) transferred to a for-profit company and some of the developers started to turn the project into a commercial open-core one.
Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)
uninformed comment
That's fine in and of itself, but, personally, I could never bring myself to use a forge which isn't fully featured and easy to use.
spoiler ~~(rant)~~ Sourcehut is just so counterintuitive to me and I shrug every time I see a project actually using it, I feel like many wouldn't even consider making contributions unless they were very motivated. To the average person, it just looks like an unwelcoming experience, especially for the email centric focus, like, why should I switch to another application just to open an issue? At least integrate it with the the web UI, like idk, make it a specialized email client for the platform, so I don't have to juggle multiple things.
Don't get me wrong tho, it's the closest we have to the bare git workflow of the "before times" with a bit more accessibility on top, it's not bad, but in a way these new web forges have spoiled us devs into relying on cohesive web services which happen to have vendor lock-in, but that can change and it is slowly doing so :::
edit: deleted for inaccurate info, don't consider my dumb rant O.o
I found it unfamiliar in the few times I saw it, but maybe it's worth giving a try
I'd like to know how Forgejo is pronounced
Something like for-jay-yo.
From https://forgejo.org/faq/ :
Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.
I've learned some Esperanto and still think the name is stupid. Make your app have a sane, pronounceable name to any old person.
Gitlab is also thinking of going to federation. It will be interesting as git is already a federated protocol, now our prs, follows, stars, ect will also be federated between different instances.
already a defeated protocol
Once again, SVN is victorious.
Lol! Woops. I'm on my phone and it autocorrected.
I want all that so bad
Gitlab is also thinking of going to federation.
I hope Gitlab has helped the contributor out in their work, last I heard it was just one person on it
I don't
Green Forgejo is typing...
I use Arch btw
