LOL GitHub [2018]

Time to move my lazy ass and finally do that migration I've been putting off.
What alternatives are you guys recommending? I've heard good things of Codeberg so far.
I self host forgejo for my personal projects
I have not moved my open source stuff off gh.

I hope I wont get brigaded, but of hosted options I like Gitlab. They are fairly transparent as a company, and I've used their community edition for work and private projects for nearly a decade.
Not just hosting, I like their CI/CD and devops features too.

Git is distributed by design, so I lean into that. I self-host, and use codeberg, and still collaborate with people who won't leave github. Forgejo has built in pull or push mirrors that make it very easy, but you can also set multiple remotes in your local git repo.

Yeah migrating Git is as easy as it gets in my opinion
Add remote, push, tada.

I agree.
I was curious and just checked -Trixie dropped with a 1-year-ish old version. Curious if they ever update it.

Gitlab-the-company isn’t really much different from GitHub-the-company, to be honest.

- tadaWell, sure.
scp -r source target
works with git too. And pretty much everything if you have/want filesystem as your access point.Appreciate learning about fossil, but switching all my stuff to a different VCS entirely is overkill, and I can't see it doing anything easier, simpler or better than git. Especially if I want to make it easy for others to depend on my stuff.

One is owned by Microsoft, the other is still effectively independent. Idk if I'd call it not much different.

I don’t want to convert anyone.
Just because you suggested it can’t be easier. I warmly recommend anyone to try it though.
