This is a nice idea, let me ask you a question:
One of the more interesting projects now a days is ForgeFed (https://github.com/forgefed/forgefed https://github.com/forgefed/forgefed) which would allow for projects to use ActivityPub for pull requests, forking, etc.
This is important because so much of the value add of Github isn't in the git hosting (which one can do with Gitea or Gitlab) but in the collaboration.
This is also important because many Github extensions work through their API to glue functionality such as test suites and linting through monitoring a PR.
So where might your project fit in there?
- michaelmure 8y agoThe problem with this approach is that usually your work computer is not reachable from internet, so ActivityPub won't work here. It might be used to create a federated GitHub though, but it's outside of the scope of git-bug for now. The project is just one month old ;)
- emacsen 8y agoThe way you could bridge the two is that you'd have something to monitor the bugs in both directions (gitbug -> AP and AP -> gitbug). The argument that connectivity is an impediment is valid, but increasingly less so. The problem with storing bugs in git is that you are forcing the users to download the entire project, or to make a PR for each comment, etc. So a bridge would make things much easier.
