I have been looking for a good alternative for self-hosted git that focuses on being decentralized and easy to self host, so this might be it. Something that leverages a more decentralized identity, so that people can send contributions without signing up to my site.
Currently, I use gitolite + cgit for self-hosting my projects but it has the obvious limitations that I have no public bug tracker nor an email list that people can use for contribution or discussions. This works for my personal projects since people can just send me email patches, but if I ever want to scale the project I am out of luck. Having something like the Sourcehut's todo and mailing list functionality would solve that. I think if this project manages to provide that, I would absolutely love to test it out.
Edit: Just noticed that it has gitbug support, which is really cool! That essentially means that you are able to access your bugs directly from the terminal / whenever you're offline. Afterward, when you are online again you can commit your changes/comments/etc.
- arcanemachiner 3y agoSince your comment mentioned it as an aside, I would like to add that git-bug is a very cool piece of software that allows you to embed an issue tracker in your git repo, and mirrors your changes to/from the GitHub/Gitlab issue trackers. It's not perfect, but it is a very useful tool that I use in my personal projects. https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug
