  Has too many roots in China for me to ever even think about putting my source code on it.

  Does it support github actions? To me, that's the killer feature...
  • geenat 4y ago
    Github actions are supported in Gitea 19, yes.

      Wow, that's quite impressive: https://blog.gitea.io/2022/12/feature-preview-gitea-actions/ https://blog.gitea.io/2022/12/feature-preview-gitea-actions/ Looks like there's still more work planned, though: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/13539 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/13539 This is interesting - as I understand it gitea supports work flows from the github marketplace - and I had just made a note to try and figure out how the ruby/setup-ruby[1] action actually works/is implemented - and from the looks/claims here - I guess it should just work with gitea?

      https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/integrations/ https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/integrations/ says "If you're looking for CI/CD look at this awesome list [and good luck]": https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea#user-content-devops https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea#user-content-devops As far as "Github actions are supported", I seem to recall they're using "act" for that and this issue appears to match my recollection, as well as my experience with act being fine for hello-world but 100% absolutely not a replacement for a formal CI/CD system: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/13539#issuecomment-1448888850 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/13539#issuecomment-... I will concede I have not tried keeping up with their fork <https://gitea.com/gitea/act https://gitea.com/gitea/act> so maybe they cured all its ills

      I'm a huge fan of Gitea but saying that GH Actions are supported is a bit of a stretch. Everybody asked for CI/CD so they started working on it and yes you can test it but nobody sane would use it in a production setting.
      • asah 4y ago
        sorry to ask but can you provide some examples? in particular, GH actions has a million plugin rules/scripts - does this create compatibility/porting issues?
        • mdaniel 4y ago
          Try running act against their own act fork and watch it vomit. I first had contact with act trying to get VSCodium to build locally, since their build system is/was entirely GitHub Actions based. The "well, that didn't work" was horrific to troubleshoot git clone https://gitea.com/gitea/act.git cd act make build ./dist/local/act -j lint -W .github/workflows/checks.yml --verbose workflow_dispatch echo good luck

  I've been really impressed with gitea. What I'm most excited about though is their plans for federation. The idea of running my own gitea instance and being able to fork repos and make PRs with other instances really feels like what Git hosting services should be doing. https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/18240 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/18240

    If this is your jam you should be aware of the gitea fork forgejo. Much of the federation-related development has been moving there. https://forgejo.org/ https://forgejo.org/
    • OrderlyTiamat 4y ago
      I couldn't really find this on their site, what's the difference between the two? Why did they fork, are there ideological differences or something? I'm not using gitea yet, but was considering it.
      • 3np 4y ago
        Those questions are covered in the FAQ!
    • jolheiser 4y ago
      As far as I know the plan is to upstream it to Gitea as well, fwiw
    • aitchnyu 4y ago
      How easy is it for them to turn their back on "Forgejo will always be Free and Open Source Software."?
