Yeah I’m into Gitness
Gitness goddamn code to compile
You’re down with the Gitness?
The one person who downvoted this couldn’t get their code to compile
Looks like they redacted their downvote
Coward
We’re done. This guy wins the Internet. We can all go home now.

Nobody name their new product Gitler for some reason. Such a good name.
There hasn’t been a new Git repo launch in almost a decade
Am I the only person annoyed they seem to mistake repositories for forges? It’s already annoying when casual users say “git” for “GitHub”, but those guys actually want to build a forge, explaining they’re going to do better than anyone else. Maybe start by properly using the terms?
I thought you were being overly pedantic but my god, they keep repeating the point. They seem to have no idea what the difference between a platform hosting code repositories and an individual repository is or even what version control software is. What the bloody hell is this.
At the very least, it means the CEO doesn’t understand the domain. It may be because he sees this part of the business as secondary and less important, or because it was developed so fast he didn’t have time to grasp the concepts, probably he was not a driving force in that effort. I certainly hope the tech side is more aware. Without more proof of CEO implication, I certainly would not bet on that horse to survive in the distant future, though.
And of course there have been forges launched, including SourceHut, Gitea, Gogs, Forgejo…
Gitea, Gogs, Forgejo
“They are the same picture.”
I myself have launched several new git repos in the last decade. Where’s my article TechCrunch?
Also plain wrong - Codeberg launched in 2019. Now the question is: did the author just not know better, or is he paid not to know?
The worst part is that this is a direct quote from Harness’ CEO, not from TechCrunch author. :) Maybe they have a great product, I don’t know, but it certainly feels like an amateurish launch. :D
Codeberg isn’t an entirely new forge. It’s just a well-known gitea/forgejo instance. Sourcehut would probably be a better example.
Here I am knowing the difference between git and GitHub, GitLab, …
But what’s a ‘forge’ please ?
That’s the name we use to designate software like GitHub, GitLab and similar, which provide repositories hosting and tooling like issue trackers. It’s supposed to be named like that because of SourceForge, the oldest of such tools, although I didn’t hear the term “forge” before the last 5 years or so, long after SourceForge demise, so I imagine there is a bit of nostalgia in this name (not sure who is nostalgic of SourceForge, though 😂). The wikipedia page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)
SOURCEFORGE: I’m not dead yet!
^^
Oh, my apologies, Sourceforge! Say hi to Myspace for me!
I complained when the term “crypto” was co-opted. Come die with me on this hill where we care about things.
I want gitea to get federation
I disagree with this almost on principle. GitHub was a mistake. We don’t need these large, bloated, isolated forges that are just going to be acquired and converted into social networks. Forgejo> is the future. Any new forge not even trying to support federation and independent hosting out of the box is dead in the water to me. You wanna build a github style accessible platform above forgejo go right ahead, the thing github did best was make all of this accessible.
Gitea and Forgejo are the way to go. Especially Forgejo which is working on federation just like Lemmy but for Forgejo repos and instances.
Im amused that the repo for it is on github and not on, well, Gitness
total power move
So Gitlab
Gitlab is an interesting project.
Admittedly looks good and has the feature set, but…
You dig in at all it’s a mess. If it screws up, it’s a mess. Every five minutes they seem to have another extremely severe security issue. Even when it’s working right, it’s a resource hog.
Has the feel of a lot of mismatched stuff duct taped together, but the duct tape looks great. So as a user, great. As an admin, a bit of a mess.
I love Gitlab as a git hosting platform. I like that it is open source. My problem is they’re pricing plan forced me to move to GitHub. I don’t use their DevOps stuff so paying even 19$/month per user for a lot of features I don’t need sucks, and hosting it my own is a headache I don’t want to deal with because we’re not that big. GitHub isn’t a choice I make out of preference for my private commercial projects… Jetbrains space even though it is nice isn’t best for me because even though it has git hosting it has a lot of other stuff that I don’t want yet again, I work with all kinds of people, non technical as well and it makes no sense yet again. I also use tools or platforms that don’t integrate with git directly but with GitHub or GitLab… which fucking sucks honestly… also look at netlify… you need an ENTERPRISE plan to connect to a self-manget Gitlab repo. Like the shit these platforms are pulling IS UNBELIEVABLE. AndGiitness looks to be a commercial product, so clearly they’ll also be pushing and spending money to make sure other platforms work with them and only thing that matters is the features they add and their pricing plan… I hope they become a good competitor to these big Git hosting platforms and a viable alternative.

AI? Not bloated? Mmm. Will stick with Gitea.
Seems fast compared to self-hosted GitLab or Bitbucket. I don’t see a way to add an ssh key or gpg key for code signing. No dark mode so expect to burn your retinas out in the middle of the night. I’ll wait until it’s a little more fleshed out before thinking about replacing Gitea in my network, though.
How’s it compare to gitea?
I found it much more barebones in my tinkering. It doesn’t seem to support pulling via SSH (and definitely doesn’t support signing commits). Configuration options appear extremely limited, both in documentation and the UI.
It looks nice, but I don’t really see the point to it when Gitea Actions is now a thing. Gitea is a more mature product, and is similarly fast and lightweight.
Edit: s/Gitea/Forgejo. Gitea has moved to a for-profit model since I made this comment.
Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues
