I’ll share more details about where the Ghostty project will be moving to in the coming months. We have a plan but I’m also very much still in discussions with multiple providers (both commercial and FOSS).
- GitLab -> too enterprisey, danger of enshittification, if not already there
- SourceHut -> too different
- BitBucket -> lol
- Codeberg -> GitHub without the bullshit
If we’re not considering self-hosting:
- GitLab - asks for phone number/cc to create an account, enterprise-level UI (in a bad way)
- SourceHut - free (during public alpha that might end one day), ran by a controversial figure
- BitBucket - “Code and CI/CD, powered by AI”
- Codeberg - limited to FOSS projects, fork of Gitea, CI is compatible with GH actions
I moved all my active and new projects to Codeberg the moment GitHub started pushing their Copilot crap everywhere. I just knew nothing good would come from it.
Codeberg / Forgejo and Tangled are my favorite options. Tangled because while it is VC backed, the open source and federated model are well thought out. If you haven’t read the source code I highly recommend it, it’s genius.
lol. you’re leaving for the outages?
i left the day microslop bought it. i didn’t delete my repos… but I switched to using gitlab and now codeberg
I’m actually surprised to hear about the outages. i thought they were reliable…
This chart shows the problem fairly well. (Even if the scale is set to make a point)

Forced to use GitHub Professional and lost count how often GitHub is just standing in my way with things not responding often times without any error message.
That fucking unicorn error page haunts my dreams.
interesting. my bet is because when microslop bought them they switched the infrastructure to azure immediately, and it was probably on something better before
GitHub didn’t work at all most of the day yesterday
They were for a long while, before they got borged.
Has anyone compiled a list of where projects are moving to? I know many linux desktop applications are self hosting on gitlab, but i’ve also seen gitea and codeberg. If anyone has opinions about a preference, do comment. I have been enjoying self hosting gitea for my simple personal projects and for deploying simple web apps, all on $5 vps.
I would expect Gitlab and Codeberg to be the most likely destinations depending on how FOSSy a project is.
I heard someone mention “Tangled” earlier today too which might be new? Unsure. Seems to be an attempt at a federated version control platform.
I tried to read this using Tor Browser and I can’t:

Im not in the scene but I do hate microslop, can you transfer your history and such that it is seamless?

I believe Codeberg also has import mechanisms for all the bits alongside the git repo as well. Issues, releases and all that kind of stuff.
I just backed up all my repos and plan on fully migrating to selfhosted Forgejo. GitHub is rapidly going downhill. Recently they had a bug that was silently corrupting people’s main branches, and they’re getting more trigger happy on the ban hammer.
One of my friends just had their entire 14 year account history wiped without any warning for supposedly misusing GitHub Actions (most likely an AI false positive), and they’re just getting all their tickets immediately closed.
Microslop and the mierda touch.
Another Microslop victim
Since Microsoft acquired GitHub and CoPilot, GitHub has been losing ground. Systems that try to force AI integration on their users only cause User reaction. That’s why many users are switching to systems like Codeberg.
Well, that’s quite ironic, because their fiscal sponsor and biggest donor (in both directions) is “Hack Club”, which insists you use GitHub and Figma everywhere and lies to you about deleting your data (source: me, you will have to take my word for it).
