The headquarters is based in San Francisco
I wish it remained a Ukrainian unicorn company
Linus Torvalds is Finnish but he lives in the US. Does that mean we can’t use Linux or Git?
As long as its free and open source its fine in my opinion
There’s also https://codeberg.org/ which is powered by Forgejo and hosted in Europe
I know this is buy European, but for people who are more interested in buy non-American and less specifically only European, Bitbucket is owned by Australian company Atlassian, and free accounts get unlimited private repos, and relatively reasonable pricing for small teams.
It’s a bit less geared towards open source than GitHub or gitlab, but that is available too. I’m not sure how it works.
Whoops Atlassian has 4 offices in the US including SF and NY
I agree. And Forgejo (the software that powers Codeberg) is getting federation with the ActivityPub protocol (which made the Fediverse possible) in the future.
How do we pronounce Forgejo? The english J, the German J, or the Spanish J? (Or is there a 4th option?)
It’s based on Esperanto, I think German j would be the closest? Audio sample in their FAQ is like for-jay-yo to my ear, they give /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ as a pronunciation
I think German j would be the closest
Yeah, German J is /j/.
It’s apparently their most asked question, it has top billing in their FAQ.
it has top billing in their FAQ
I find that genuinely hilarious and delightful 😂
Very nice to hear!
Thanks. I have removed my gitlab and github accounts. If I need something in future, I’ll use Codeberg.
???
Gitlab sucks anyway. From 2018 to now, the install process somehow got harder and the system requirements got more greedy.
Forgejo FTW.
What’s a good self hosted lightweight git instance? Can you use git with forgejo?
Yes it’s a fork of gitea
I absolutly agree. But it’s also an unfortunate truth that apart from Github and Gitlab all Git-Hosters suck.
so is GitHub
