| Github is sinking | Yarmo Mackenbach | github-sinking | 2020-06-29 13:06:56 | true |
I rarely interact with Github anymore. All my projects are either on my selfhosted Gitea instance or on Codeberg.org. That's why I missed the following on Github Status:
Yikes
Yikes, indeed. How everyone handles this is up to them. Large projects will find it hard to move, no doubt.
My interpretation? The Microsoft Github ship is sinking and it's sinking faster every day. The beauty is: you don't need them. Instead of relying on Github, you could:
- selfhost your own Gitea instance if you have the knowledge;
- use Codeberg.org which also uses Gitea;
- use sourcehut.org which takes a different but very solid approach to git hosting;
- use any instance generously hosted by amazing people (think libreho.st and Chatons);
- use gitlab.com or selfhost an instance.
There are so many better places to be for git hosting nowadays. For an easy performance comparison of different services, see forgeperf.org.
Abandon the corporate ship before or after it sinks, up to you.
