I have largely moved on from Github, and encourage you to do the same.
Microsoft has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care and commitment to data protection, privacy, protecting user copyrights, and providing a high-quality developer experience. Visit GiveUpGithub.org for more information and additional context.
My public repositories can now be found on the following sites:
- git.hickersberger.org
- Codeberg: codeberg.org/renehsz
- Sourcehut: git.sr.ht/~renehsz
I would like to encourage you to host your own Git forge as well! It is not hard!
A Git repository is, in fact, not more than a directory that you can access via SSH just like you log in to your server.
A simple git init --bare
might be all you need.
If you want to go one step further, tools like stagit or cgit are perfectly sufficient for the simple use case of providing a read-only web interface to your repositories.
In case you need a fancy interactive web UI with user management and other advanced features, consider setting up Forgejo or Gitea. It really shouldn't take more than maybe a couple of hours to get up and running.
Consider deploying a firewall such as Anubis against bad AI spam crawlers.
"But I don't want to self-host!!!11!!"
If you insist on using a hosted service, you might want to consider Codeberg or perhaps Sourcehut.
