Federated Git server (self.fediverse)
submitted 1 year ago by rist097 to c/fediverse

I think that federated gitlab instances could be a good next step forward for becoming independent from big companies.

At the moment I host a lot of my code to Github because of discoverability, but I do not feel comfortable with depending on Microsoft for this service. Gitlab is a self hosted Git server, but there is no way to federate the instances like on Lemmy. Are there any projects that deal with this?

There is an effort (https://forgefed.org) but I don't think there's anything usable yet.

For anyone curious, here are some relevant tickets for the major FOSS git forges discussing implementing federation - there's a lot of interest so it seems like it's only a matter of time before this happens.

Well yes, the website doesn't work. But glad to see there are some works around it

It is actually what I am looking for, but it doesn't seem to be there yet
