I wonder, why do people maintain personal git forges?
Is it so others can submit issues and pull requests? Do others actually bother to create accounts at your personal git forge so they can contribute?

- kassner 1y agoPersonal choices. I want to selfhost all my stuff, and avoid relying on GitHub, and also having some codebases not being used in AI training. I achieve the latter by not having my forge public, so I don’t have much of a dog in this fight. I could just have a directory in another server, but I like being able to link to a specific file/line/commit, and I prefer viewing the code in the browser in some situations. Forgejo takes the same effort to selfhost as gitweb on my setup, so why not?
- tasuki 1y agoOk, fair. I have several remotes for my projects: one on a machine I control, another on GitHub, so I can send links to people etc.
- degamad 1y agoYep, mine is for my wife and a couple of friends to contribute only, and they're able to do so just fine. There are no public repositories on it, and the url is not published anywhere.
