By ‘Git instances’ they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

People have open registration on those things… Thats… Brave…
I have my own gitea instance in my homelab but of course its not accessable from the internet.
I wonder if it’d be feasible to make a fediverse github
Git is already a distributed version control system.
There was a discussion on Forgejo and ActivityPub IIRC
Edit: this is what you’re looking for: https://forgefed.org/
I keep mine accessible from the internet, its just more useful to me like that. I do have registration disabled though and SSO is handled by Authentik so it could be worse (my personal goal has just been to not be the easiest target, perfect security is a myth in my mind).
Well that kinda kills collaboration
Yeah. If I needed collaboration, I would just whitelist their ips or require everyone involved to use Wireguard vpn, Tailscale or other solutions that allows access without being publically exposed.
That kills collaboration from new people who just, like, discovered your project on some Lemmy thread
They can still collaborate old school way. You can publish static mirrors of git, then take email patches lol
I do the same thing. Anything I put on there isn’t something that I would share with the Internet anyway. If it was a serious project, sure. It’s just nice to have a personal git you can access over a VPN sometimes.
I can’t understand why anyone would waste time writing code that won’t be shared
For personal use. As someone who has all my non-trivial creations, including dot-files and scripts I replicate between machines, in repos since CVS has a thing it’s a habit. Version control. This stuff is mostly private but not secret, why should I have it public?
Edit after spell check.
Personal projects. Not everything has to be FOSS. My tiny little script to automate my lights turning green and my smart speaker playing All-Star by Smash Mouth at full volume, so I can jork it in peace? That shit doesn’t need to be public.
Yes, it needs to be public. The videos too.
Take my money.
For personal use? To automate tasks you do or solve a problem you have? Or people use git repos for notes and the like too
Don’t kink shame, man

It is because it is the default
