@prologic@twtxt.net Hmm. š¤
Okay, suppose you host a project using this new forge, and I want to send a pull request. What do I have to do?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de In the meantime tell me all your āwishesā and things you wish/want a good decent āpureā decentralised Git forge should do š
I am finally building a Twtxt / Yarn.social inspired Git forge. Iām actually quite confident that yāall will quite like it, but I wonāt post links yet until Iām quietly confident in its design, functionality and behaviour(s).
Stay tuned š¤ Itāll be like no other Git forge youāve ever seen! 𤣠Actually, itās already more like cgit than anything with plain text feeds that power itās āpure decentralizationā as you can no doubt imagine š #twtxt #git #forge

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, yes, just for clarity: This wasnāt a āpro GitHubā argument. š I wonāt go back there (or to another āforgeā).
I think weāre totally on the same page: Decentralized Git hosting is good, but we havenāt solved the ācollaborationā part yet. Or rather: We have to modernize it. The tools are already there, but (many) people donāt want to use them and think theyāre clunky.
FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies
What do SourceHut, GNOMEās GitLab, and KDEās GitLab have in common, other than all three of them being forges? Well, it turns out all three of them have been dealing with immense amounts of traffic from āAIā scrapers, who are effectively performing DDoS attacks with such ferocity itās bringing down the infrastructures of these major open source projects. Being open source, and thus publicly accessible, means these scrapers have ⦠ā Read more
