I was curious about your opinions (Not my article). Also this mentions Fossil & Pijul. Which are fully-fledged Git-Alternatives (Not just github)

You don't need git alternatives. git has nothing to do with fascistsoft. Please don't confuse a repo hosting service with the (FOSS) tools used thereon.

Alternative for github: codeberg.org

Alternative for github: codeberg.org

only for ~~public~~ FOSS

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Partially true, yes, that is a downside: codeberg currently does not allow non-free licenses. But no, a repository does not have to be public.

Why is that a bad thing ?

[–] Kissaki@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It is not a bad thing.

The comment claimed "alternative to GitHub". I pointed out that it's an alternative for only a subset of use cases/projects. Without that clarification, someone may explore or follow through and be disappointed.
