I had not seen that...interesting.

  Source hut is cool. Among things, it prioritizes exposing and leveraging Git's existing functionality wherever possible, like email patches, rather than building new proprietary functionality on top of Git like Github and others do.

    Everything about Github's PR workflow is killer to me, so to me personally the message I take away from this is that Source Hut isn't even competing with Github in the parts I care about.

      If the one particular aspect I mentioned isn't for you then why even bother wasting your valuable time responding? Just go read their website instead and see if there is something for you. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but at least then you'd know definitively. Much better use of your time and effort. I'll even save you a few clicks: https://drewdevault.com/2018/11/15/sr.ht-general-availability.html https://drewdevault.com/2018/11/15/sr.ht-general-availabilit... https://sourcehut.org/ https://sourcehut.org/

        I posted because I think my post would be useful to other people who are considering alternatives to GitHub but also like rich PR workflows like GitHub has, and because I think it's good to encourage would-be GitHub alternatives to invest in that area. I've actually been following Sourcehut's mailing list and updates since forever because I find their philosophies interesting, but not right or practical for my own workflow.

        Github flow is garbage. Its broken by design and forces a subpar experience on top of something that actually fucking works. Maybe you find it nice and dumbed down, good for you. The rest of us want git to actually be git.

        Sharing dissenting opinions is useful and by no stretch a waste of time.

  It was just on the front page last week for a new feature launch (project hubs). The design is very minimal, but it’s organized into several different composable features. The author is on here often. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23030489 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23030489 I haven’t migrated over completely from GH yet, but it’s a compelling option.

I like the concept but the UI is so ugly
- enriquto 7y ago
  I find the UI much more beautiful and clean than github's, but this is mostly a personal preference. Just hope it will be feature complete really soon!
