- In a separate memo, Microsoft CoreAI head Jay Parikh outlined a new structure that will see GitHub leadership reporting to several Microsoft executives.
- Microsoft developer division head Julia Liuson will oversee GitHub’s revenue, engineering and support.
- GitHub chief product offer Mario Rodriguez will report to Microsoft AI platform VP Asha Sharma.
And another reason to not use GitHub for new projects anymore and working on migrating older projects away from it.
Codeberg is good for open-source projects.
I don’t think they allow non-open-source except by special permission.
But why would you publicly host code of closed-source software?
The point is that people who privately host projects on GitHub might expect to be able to do the same on a GitHub alternative.
Also, some people use GitHub for non-open-source projects with public code. (Remember, open-source has a specific meaning; merely publishing your code in public view does not make it open-source.)
This strengthens my point even more.
I don’t see any point that could be strengthened. All I see from you above is a question.
If you say so.
So mind telling us mere mortals what your point is, then?
Just asking why anyone would want to publicly host the repo for a closed source project isn’t a point – it’s just you not understanding the reasons for doing that, and just because you personally don’t understand something doesn’t mean there’s no valid reason to do it.
Unity publishes some source code for reference purposes only. It is not open source, just made public.
where would you recommend going? i can self host but would like somewhere that can be monitored by cloudflare for rebuilding of static pages, etc.
I’d either selfhost a Forgejo instance (which I already do) or use Codeberg (which I also do). The Cloudflare thing for selfhosting is something you need to set up on your own, though.
I mostly use flare when I don’t want to host a static site that’s going to get hammered or penned. I used to traefik stuff at home. but lately I just use wireguard then hit things “locally.”
Why not Codeberg?
i’ll look them up. just curious for options.
Seconding codeberg. Framagit also
codeberg looks solid. when i can afford a sub, I’ll 100% give them a try for a year.
Subscription is optional. You can use Codeberg for free if you want.
oh! then i don’t know what I saw signing up re active members etc. Will look again. thanks!
The only thing is that they only support open source so no private repos (in their rules effectively you can do it). If you want private framagit or self hosted forgejo :)
I use codeberg as well as a self-hosted local forgejo for backups. On codeberg, lots of people use woodpecker-ci to automate building static pages but I just manually build with jekyll
Selfhosted forgejo with something like woodpecker ci. We’re playing a game of hot potato, with the way these services are getting worse and worse, so it’s easier to jump ship early, and just be happy
You can setup a Forgejo Action that deploys the site using Cloudflare Wrangler. Codeberg uses Forgejo, and GitLab CI/CD should work too.
If Wrangler is too hard I think there’s a webhook thing, but I’m not too sure.
thanks!
what is the use case for cloudflare?
is it still self hosting if you use an external service like that?
cloudflare is not self hosting. it is however a simple place to have a page / worker on a free plan that watches a github repo and on changes does a pull and does a ci step like an install of a vue3 app. it then serves the app on a domain. so I can spin up a test vue3+ts app and know I can share it with the public. so like a personal homepage or something simple.
knowing a bad actor won’t be thinking “flandish self hosts if I can break into site’s IP I can assume he also self hosts good stuff”
at the worst a bad actor will ddos a free plan page on cloudflare which can handle it.
thanks for the detailed answer!
