To use with Git

I use gitea
Gitea here for me too, works a treat
I mainly just use bare SSH and/or point my web server to my repos as I don’t really need a whole UI for stuff I’m pretty much the only one that will ever use it.
I feel like it’s a git feature that’s often overlook by those that have only used to GitHub/GitLab/Gitea before. Git was originally designed to just be a folder on a server you have SSH access (read-write) or HTTP(S) access (read-only).
I’ve used Gogs and Gitea in the past but found it overkill for my needs.
Exactly what I do. Unless you need fancier collaboration features–issue tracker, UI for handling PRs, etc–a bare repo on the other side of ssh plus something like cgit if you want to make the code available via a browser is perfectly sufficient.
Gitea.
I used raw SSH for years but occasionally I had to share accesss to a repo with sonebody else, and the whole dance with creating an unix user and giving proper permissions was only fun for the first time.
Gitea. I don’t know when Big Brother will decide to snoop or takedown my repositories
But the biggest dilemma I face is everyone’s on GitHub, not on my little Gitea instance. I think I should use GitHub for my public repositories where I need collaboration. Anyway, that’s a different issue
@activator90
https://forgejo.org/ is attempting to solve that problem. If we all adopt it (or other federated forges that may appear), we don’t need GitHub at all.
I started on Gitlab, which was a monster to run. I moved to Gitea, until the developers started doing some questionable things. Now I’m on Forgejo (a fork of Gitea).
Can you elaborate on what questionable things they did? I am thinking of hosting my own gitea instance
Personally, I use Gitea. My needs are simple though and I probably don’t use 99% of what it can do.
I have used Gogs and Gitea in the past now Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.
What is woodpecker for?
Can automate anything you want, a website or wiki use it to roll out any new changes automatically and others use it to test their software. Connects to Gitea/Forgejo as a third party application and requires that it be granted the appropriate permissions in the Settings -> Applications column.
Cool, tysm
If you want a way to self host git (not github) repositories you can check this list https://www.slant.co/topics/1440/~best-self-hosted-web-based-git-repository-managers
The only selfhosted github I know about is github enterprise.
If you just want to host git repos, gitea, and gitlab are good. You don’t need that to host git though, git is peer based and doesn’t require a fancy dashboard to work.
I’ve had gitlab/gitlab-ce running on my NAS for 6+ months and it’s been reliable, mostly as a central repository and off-device backup. It has CI/CD and other capabilities (gitlab/gitlab-runner, etc), but I’ve not implemented them.
You can use gitlab. Big and feature rich. or gitea - small neat and have all important features. With gitea add something like “woodpeaker” for CI
@TheHolm
You may want to check out https://forgejo.org/. It’s a fork of Gitea that’s Fediverse-enabled.
