SourceHut

“The only material difference is that the deploy keys for *.sr.ht present (by design) on builds.sr.ht also have access to”

“I liked using Sourcehut for my personal projects because it just got out of my way”

“Sourcehut was a minimalistic service fitting to my minimalistic personal needs. Not anymore.”

“the policy is not just dumb and unenforceable, it is also poorly reasoned. Many of the arguments apply equally to other technologies, or don't apply to AI-generated code in the first place.”

“I pay them for infrastructure and service, not for some pseudo-moral ideas about how I should write my code.”

“fixable with github mirror that points to sourcehut instance as a canonical development platform”

“CI, web-based ticket submission for anyone with a site-wide login, static hosting, good price”

“sourcehut has very good mailing list support, that is mostly equivalent to github pull requests”

“I hear good things from people who've used sourcehut's "email a patch" model”

“Not a drop-in replacement for GitHub admittedly. Requires a bit more skills from the contributors.”

“Not sure how Anubis plays with SourceHut trying to be js-free, but otherwise it's awesome.”

“I still don’t like it, but I get it, and at least it was handled professionally.”

“I would not trust Sourcehut. If Drew decides one day that he does not like you, your politics, or your industry, he will just cut you off.”

“I really really love it but I just can’t get myself to embrace the email workflow.”

“It's a one-time process to generate long-lived keys and another to set up with SourceHut and that's all I need to do.”

“CodeBerg [1] and SourceHut [2] both offer Git hosting but don't merely describe themselves as "GitHub but X"”

“In addition you get a public mailing list where people can send issues and patch to.”

“it did make me feel like it's very clearly the "correct" way of doing things”

“It is different because Drew DeVault is scathingly anti-AI, and has a history of sticking to strong opinions”

“At least Sourcehut isn't completely proprietary and shoving AI down your throat at every possible chance”

“SourceHut if you believe in paying for products instead of being the product”

“every time I use it I am pleasantly surprised how fast it is and how little clutter there is”

“Uses the same email-based patch workflow as Linux. Takes an hour to learn, and they have helpful guides”

“Sourcehut is pretty good if you're willing to pay the (very reasonable may I add) prices”

“it's very opinionated and may not be suitable for what a lot of people think of when they're coming from something like Github”

“Using Gitlab or Sourcehut is painful. I'm glad they both exist but the UI, in my opinion, is not as good as Github.”

“they have a very nice "edit manifest and run" feature that makes it easy to quickly test a change while debugging”

“Sourcehut projects use this workflow almost exclusively since it's the default by design.”

“I think Sourcehut is the more portable of Git forges. Everything is stored in standard formats”

“The owner is very opinionated and likes to get involved in what projects are and are not allowed to be hosted there”

“asking for some money upfront to cover the actual hosting costs and other stuff feels pretty good”

“Drew's direct engagement into tech cancel-culture (with targets such as DHH, RMS, Andreas Kling, Jack Dorsey), makes it difficult to do business with him”

“Both Codeberg and sourcehut are good options when escaping the walled gardens of Big Tech”

“It uses a mailing list-based workflow so contributing code or bug reports is relatively effortless and doesn't require a Sourcehut account.”

“But it's tough to use for a team that isn't building open source software.”

“The UI is fast, but it can be difficult to navigate, at least if you aren't familiar with it.”

“I also like it, particularly for its outstanding CI, but I don't like the patch/email-centric approach.”

“It's the only forge out there that isn't set out to copy the Github UI like everyone else.”

“lack of the organizations that would allow multiple contributors working on the project”

“It's kind of a bummer SourceHut stuck so stubbornly to mailing list only workflows.”
