Help for #git wanted:

That single file gets copied to several projects, not a package, not a library.

I could let it have its git repo, build process, etc and pull it in with the dependency mechanism. 😮‍💨

Is there a better way, like an "include" mechanism for git repos or whatnot?

My second best approach currently is to let the build system copy the file if the single file repo is available and commit the copy whenever it shows up as changed. Better ideas?

Ich lege gerade ein neues #git repo an zur Quellcodeverwaltung, Ausgabe: „Ja, demnächst wird der ‚master‘-Branch dann standardmäßig ‚main‘ heißen, und mit diesem Befehl kannst Du schon heute die koloniale Kackscheiße beenden:“ [leicht paraphrasiert]

I've spoken to two friends now whose (different) employers are trying to monitor which #developers are actively using #AI, as if doing so is some kind of metric for success.

So I wrote an (only slightly tongue-in-cheek) #git post-commit hook that spoofs the records their AI agents might have made, so management can't tell that they're not drinking the kool-aid.

(Obviously it'd be better if my friends could just openly say "nah, I produce better code without AI", or else have a different job with management that respects them, but until that happens...)

Does GitHub Desktop work with CodeBerg? Or is there an alternative to it that works with CodeBerg? I've been doing gamedev as a hobby and been using GitHub. I like the "GitHub Desktop" app, because I really don't like using the git terminal (I prefer a UI). I've been thinking of moving my repositories to an open source alternative like CodeBerg, the only thing that makes hesitate is having to use the git terminal.

I need help from Git/Linux or general Geeks
Boost welcom

Situation:

My daughter is programming a robot with ROBO Pro Coding. The project file is called .ft and is a zip file containing Scratch "code" as well as the generated Python code and some additional stuff.

While the IDE supports storing the projects on a gitlab instance of the manufacturer. I would prefer to store it in a local or personal repository.

I have some ideas how this could be accomplished. But maybe it's a solved problem. So any hints welcome

Things I would try:

Use fuse-zip to mount the zip file. Use Git in the mount filesystem.
Risk is, that storing the project in the IDE might overwrite the yip file instead of modifying it.

Unzip the file in parallel and use some script or git hooks to copy the data from the yip file before committing

Any other ideas?

Each #OpenBSD virtual machine hosting #Git repositories on the #GameOfTrees Hub is configured by editing the gotsys.conf configuration file.

We run a live demo which shows configuration examples to help new users with getting started: https://demo.gothub.org/

The Game of Trees Hub is now hosting an #OpenBSD #Git repository mirror:

https://openbsd.gothub.org

The repositories available on our mirror contain the same data as already available at the openbsd accounts on Codeberg and Github but we do not rely on these other sites for updates. Repository updates are regularly being pushed to us directly from Canada.

Good news about our financial situation: The Game of Trees Hub (https://gothub.org) is no longer operating at a loss

With two business subscriptions booked yesterday (from Ireland ) we are now making more money than we are spending.

Our average monthly expenses are currently 393€. We are now receiving 243€ monthly from active subscribers. Additionally, we are currently receiving 220€ per month from generous people who support us on https://opencollective.com/gothub

Ever since we started renting servers back in May 2025 our funds had been slowly depleting because the monthly bills from hosting providers exceeded our monthly income. Fortunately, we could sustain this situation for a while because of a reserve built up from generous contributions on Open Collective since June 2024. We are very grateful to all of you who are helping to make our project possible.

Honestly, it'd be nice if git servers would be federated in some way with e.g. PRs, Issues, and ofc core functionality of committing... Implementing such stuff within only Forgejo itself would bring the servers and users closer together with self-hosted and the big codeberg (saying this as a self-hosted invite-only forgejo server user :>)

People should leave GitHub and move to CodeBerg — It is GIT, but in Germany, Europe, for better digital sovereignty, privacy, and no AI.

#ArtificialIntelligence #GIT #AI #GitHub #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy

All our hosted Git repository servers have been updated to today's new 0.122 release of the Git-compatible #gameoftrees version control system.

This update brings fixes and tweaks for the web frontend. In particular, #OpenSSH host key fingerprints are now prominently displayed where it matters, encouraging users to verify host keys instead of trusting them blindly on first use. See the Game of Trees change log for details: https://gameoftrees.org/releases/changes.html#2026-02-10

We anticipate upcoming support for SHA256 object-format Git repositories, hopefully in the next release (as per https://bsd.network/@op/116030524380288866)

By the way, we still have spare room for more hosted VMs. If you want some no-nonsense, community-driven, minimal #git repository and static website hosting in your life then find us at https://gothub.org/

Our service runs #OpenBSD exclusively but no expertise in BSD is required at all to make use of it. Repositories, user accounts, access rules, commit notifications, and web hosting can be managed by editing a plain-text configuration file stored in a Git repository.

Your .gitconfig is probably costing you hours every month. A few tweaks can fix daily Git annoyances:

• Sort branches by date, not alphabet
• Auto-setup remote tracking (goodbye "git push -u")
• Different emails for work/personal projects
• Sign commits with SSH instead of GPG

got is about to get the ability fetch/send from/to sha256 repositories! ​

I've just sent a diff on the mailing list: it advances the work that I've committed almost two year ago during the Prague hackathon.

https://marc.gameoftrees.org/mail/1770483901.27750_0.html

Back then, I was too stupid to understand the documentation and realize that we only needed to add a capability instead of supporting the Git protocol version v2 (which is only for fetch anyway.)

runxiyu on IRC kindly made us notice that we were wrong, and I'm so grateful that I can finally complete the "sha256 project" in got, even if a bit late ;-)

the future steps will be to fix clone (which is slightly tricky since we'll know the object format only after the git "handshake" happens) and sha256 support in gotd, our Git protocol server.

exiting times ahead =)

So I wrote my own: CRD, Operator, Syncer and a Helm chart to glue all together with Nginx and Traefik. Simplicity first, as admin publishing a page its one StaticSite custom resource with 4 or 5 values set, done.

Can anyone recommend a Git host, not open-source-only, that definitely does not feed your repos into an AI? Ideally one with no AI tools at all, but I'll take what I can get. Self-hosting is a no-go in this case.

So this rules out Codeberg (open source only), but I'm not sure about Bitbucket or Gitlab. Obviously Github is out of the question.

EU VAT: 342.84€

EU net amount: 1632.56€

EU fees: 271.30€

non-EU amount: 830.00€

non-EU fees: 139.52€

Total amount without fees: 2805.40€

Total fees: 410.82€

Here are the equivalent numbers for paid subscriptions (people actually using the service) in 2025:

EU amount: 30.00€

EU VAT: 5.21€

EU net amount: 24.79€

EU fees: 1.20€

non-EU amount: 210.00€

non-EU fees: 11.48€

Total amount without fees: 240.00€

Total fees: 12.68€

It is evident that we are currently relying on people making voluntary contributions to keep the lights on, rather than on actual users of the service (though there is some overlap between both groups, which is nice). We are hoping to close this gap by the end of 2026.

If you like our project then you could help us a lot by raising awareness of our existence among people you know who might be interested.

If you did already consider booking a subscription but have decided against doing so, do not hesitate to let us know why. Perhaps we can improve things for you

Yesterday I found CodeFloe: A public Forgejo (Git server) instance that is open to any projects and users.

Unlike Codeberg, it it not limited to Open Source licensed projects.

If you were thinking "Codeberg is nice, but what about my personal closed-source projects?" - this might be a solution for you!

The instance is hosted in Germany by "devYX GmbH", a swiss company. They're doing backups and are carefully designing their infrastructure. And they're very open about how it all works and what software they use. 👏

#heptapod 18.6.0rc2 released featuring #gitlab 18.6.2 and the HGitaly managed sidecar (needs to be configured) Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/heptapod/heptapod/tags?name=18.6.0rc2 Changelog: https://foss.heptapod.net/heptapod/heptapod/-/blob/heptapod-18.6.0rc2/HEPTAPOD_CHANGELOG.md #git #mercurial

Die nächste #OSS #Spende geht von mir in diesem Monat an @Codeberg. Eine sehr gute GitHub Alternative (natürlich nicht der gleiche Funktionsumfang) und pfeilschnell 🙂. Mittlerweile habe ich meine neuen #Git Repositories da angelegt. Auch hier: vielen Dank für eure Arbeit! #donation https://www.codeberg.org

I use a giant #org-mode repisitory to keep myself organized. I synchronize this repisitory between multiple devices using #git because occasionally I'll find myself out without an internet connection and it's useful for merging when they fall out of sync.

To that end, I frequently find myself issuing the command git commit -am stuff, which makes me feel kind of dirty, but it's just the easiest thing to do.

Luckily no one but me will ever see this repisitory.

what's the best #git command that *doesn't* exist?

#git nerds:
I want to store a file with metadata about the files I'm working on, BUT I want it to be invisible.

I'm thinking of using a post-commit hook that stores/updates/whatever this metadata file in a different - specially named - branch behind the scenes (without affecting the working directory).

BUT Something's telling me there's a better solution that I've forgotten. This feels clunky.

Any ideas?

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

Hello fediverse!

I'm a small yet powerful git forge. Download one binary, launch it and you have a forge that can :
- create git repositories
- manage who can access to what repositories

Nothing more, nothing less.

Install plugins and you will be able to:
- create issues, roadmap, sprint, milestone…
- represent them in boards
- review/merge branches (called grafts in gitroot)
- represent them all and many more in a web interface

I am young, very young (version 0.3.0) but i will grow, especially if you help me. Follow me to keep in touch.

I've been doing a lot of micro-checkpoint commits which I later squash recently. Like, sometimes 10 small commits for a feature, all of them half-broken and messed-up, but as a major project-level checkpoint. Reviewing the diffs as I move along really helps me understand what's going on, and I then squash all these into a single clean commit before pushing.

Apparently, Forgejo cannot handle repo names with the Polish letter “ę” in it.

And thus, Codeberg also cannot handle this, because it runs on Forgejo.

This seems like a bug. A bug that could be fixed.

How exactly do "blobless" clones work on #CircleCI? I've received their email about introducing a faster #git clone method and they're not kidding: for wxWidgets, using "blobless" brought clone time down from 82s to 14s in their environment.

Does anybody know if this is something we can use at home^W^W with #Forgejo Actions as well? I have a few jobs where clone time dominates the total running time of the job.

#ReaperDAW actually plays pretty nice with #git, though the binary audio files are obviously kinda big and unwieldy. If I were collaborating with others, I'd do well to separately store those and just git the project files.

Just having all of my #Inkscape art in a project is quick and easy and pretty painless. I've been scouring my laptop and network, finding other places where I had copies of things squirrelled away, and freeing up space. Liberating and fun.

(Also added #ObsidianMD.)

I have started moving more and more of my creative work from just simple shares on the network drive to #git projects on my local #Forgejo container in #TrueNAS

Most of the time, I am working from home on my network and it doesn't really matter that much. But I do take my laptop on the go sometimes, and it's nice to sync it up and KNOW that I have it all locally. Also, my Mac is awfully inconsistent accessing network shares; this may be a better workflow.

Just recently started using #git's #worktree feature, and now I wish I did this years ago. Being able to not just view but do actual work in more than one branch in parallel — without having to stash/commit/checkout all the time.. absolutely amazing. I'm still new with this, so could be there are some things (good or bad) I have yet to discover... but at least currently this feels like the most underrated feature of git that I'm aware of.

We made a fun experiment this week: What happens if, in addition to "regular files", we also sync the contents of .git in real time?

The result is surprising: If one person creates a commit, the other peers will immediately have it. You can even write the commit message together (because it's just the file .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG).

You can also switch branches together, have the same #Git index, etc. – great for pair programming!

We will probably offer a `--sync-vcs` flag in the next release!

Is there sandbox weirdness going on with #nix fixed-output-derivations (i.e. when you specify outputHash) that some tcp connections are disallowed? I can git clone in runCommand, but down the line a 'git annex get' (which internally just downloads another file via http) fails with this weird message 'no such protocol name: tcp'. With `--option sanbox false` everything is fine, but that's no solution obviously.

@nielsk apart from projectile-kill-buffers, do you know #git work trees?
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree

They help me tremendously in working with different branches. For many repos, I have worktrees for main, develop, wip, pr-review and temp (I have too many temp thingies 😬).

Just cd, checkout, done. Of course #emacs, #magit and #projectile integrate nicely with that.

I need help with Git!
I'm a big fan of how easy GitHub Desktop works, but since we decided to switch to Codeberg, I can't use some of its features anymore.

The feature I used the most was checking other people's pull requests and applying updates directly to their branch. Is there any way to do that with Codeberg without too complicated commands?

Here's a neat little thing I learned this week: How to ignore files in a git repository locally, without modifying the .gitignore that's tracked under version control:

#git

Hey FOSS-community, I'm trying to compare #GitLab and @forgejo.

Some important aspects are:

- #DigitalSovereignty (most important)
- #SelfHosting
- #Collaboration between instances (#federation)
- #PublicValues
- Prevention of #VendorLockIn
- #Scalability
- #Robustness
- Guaranteed #support by professionals
- Software #freedom
- #Longevity
- Suitability for the #government

Do you have any thoughts on this? Or any useful links?

If you like to live on the bleeding edge, be aware there's a Git bug on the latest version (v2.51) that causes fetches to fail on case-insensitive systems like macOS when multiple references with different cases (for example `blah/Foo` and `blah/foo/huh`) exist. #git

Some thoughts on personal git hosting | @Edent

｢ I'm looking at moving my personal projects away from GitHub. I already have accounts with GitLab and CodeBerg - but both of those sites are run by someone else. While they're lovely now, there's nothing stopping them becoming as slow or AI-infested as GitHub.

So I want to host my own Git instance for my personal projects ｣

TIL about `git exclude`: gitignore, but tracked in your machine instead of the repo, for those cases in which you cannot touch the .gitignore file.

In the process of migrating my projects from GitHub to Codeberg. Codeberg dashboard loading speed is so much faster than GitHub. I’m loading less resources while saving energy.

#git #Github #Codeberg

I just released version 0.1.6 of oct-git, a simple tool for Git signing and verification with #OpenPGP cards

https://crates.io/crates/openpgp-card-tool-git

This is a maintenance release: It updates the libraries that oct-git builds on (in particular @rpgp), but doesn't add new functionality.

However, with this update there is now a straightforward path to automated updating of OpenPGP certificates (aka public keys) from keyservers. I look forward to implementing that soon.

#GnuPG #PGP #Git #HSM

What #OpenSource and #SelfHost can do. Had an idea, discussed it here. Seemed to rhyme with people. Booked two domains. Created a landing page with #Jekyll and CI/CD from a #git repo on my #Forgejo instance. Created logo with #Inkscape. Added #letsencrypt certificate. Put it on my VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, (#RHEL) where it is now served with #Nginx. Git repo mirrored to #Codeberg so all can join. In under 8h.

I stumbled upon #Radicle, a decentralized #Git hosting/sharing solution: https://radicle.xyz. It provides a really good guide at https://radicle.xyz/guides/user.

Even as a hardcore fan of #Forgejo, I have to admit Radicle feels extremely well thought out. Might even be better than ForgeFed. Any thoughts? e.g. @Codeberg @jwildeboer

Just moved al my #git repos from #GitHub to my own #Forgejo instance.
I did complete setup with #sso (single sign on) using #KeyCloak and with in-docker runner.

Up until today's morning I was going to install gitlab, but I was persuaded by being presented as lightweight, fully selfhostable, 100% open and with federating features on the way.

Looking forward to try some federation stuff.

For a small studio with less than 100 repositories and only the need for issue tracking, what's the best Github alternative? Private repos are a requirement. #git #github #alternatives

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!

First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

Been watching the #GitHub posts scroll by all day, and it only occurs to me now to re-up this 2022 blog post about how I started self-hosting my #git repositories as part of my website using GitWeb: https://fietkau.blog/2022/moving_from_github

It's a pretty eccentric solution that's definitely less convenient than hopping to Codeberg (which would be my recommendation if your projects need modern collaboration tools), but maybe it'll speak to some of you. 😇

Apparently GitHub will become part of Microsoft's "AI Team" [1]. Even reading the CEO's post about their departure reads like a fever dream. [2]

«I am more convinced than ever that the world will soon see one billion developers enabled by billions of AI agents»

I am not sure if it is even possible to have more mentions of "AI" in a single post. Those sillicon valley people are really out of their minds.

Thankfully, there's @forgejo and @Codeberg

Today's article is about a time when I introduced git to a team of non-developers. It contains some technical detail for those who have the misfortune to work with UTF-16 files, but it's mostly a story of helping people and learning by doing:

Finally, if you really need a full code forge, with issue tracking and everything, what is the simplest, most light-weight code forge you can self-host?

Is it Forgejo? "Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

That sounds great to me, but is Forgejo simple enough that I won't regret taking on the maintenance burden? Is there something even faster?

#GiveUpGitHub #git #SelfHosting

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

* https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug
* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

Grinding down open source maintainers with AI

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/07/grinding-down-open-source-maintainers-with-ai/

Early one morning I received an email notification about a bug report to one of my open source projects. I like to be helpful and I want people who use my stuff to have a good time, so I gave it my attention. Here's what it said:

😱 I Can't Use On This Day 😭

Seriously, What’s Going On?! 🔍
I’ve been trying to use the On This Day feature, but it’s just not working for me! 😩
Every time I input my details, it says I have no posts for today, even though I know I’ve posted stuff! 🧐

Here’s My Setup: ⚙️

• Python 3.x 🐍
• Access token fully generated (I triple-checked!) 🔑
• Attempted on multiple instances but still nothing! 😩😩

Could It Be a Bug? 🤔

I’m really starting to doubt my posting history! 😳
Is it supposed to show only specific types of posts?
I’ve made some pretty epic posts before! 💥💬

Documentation Confusion 📚

The README says to register for an access token but doesn’t clarify if it factors into this feature! 🤔❓
Did I miss something REALLY important?!
Help me figure this out, please!!! 😱

Feature Suggestion 💭

If this is broken, can we at least have a debug mode to log what’s happening! 😬
I need to know if it’s truly my fault or the code’s! 🔍🛠
Thanks for looking into this TRAGIC situation!!! 😭💔

P.S. My friends ARE posting on this day and their instances work!! 😤
I feel so left out!! 😟
Let’s get this sorted ASAP! ⚡

OK, that's a lot of Emoji - too much even for me! But if one of my users needs help, I'm there for them! As the feature works for me, I decided I'd ask for the output of the app. Maybe there'd be a clue in the minimal debugging output it had.

I clicked on the link to the Codeberg repository and was hit be a 404! What? I clicked on the link to the user "simpleseaport2" but that was also broken.

"Seriously, What’s Going On?! 🔍"

It looks like Codeberg has been hit by a wave of spam bug reports. I read through the bug report again, slightly more awake, and saw just how content free it was. Yes, it is superficially well structured, the Emoji are a bit over-the-top but not the worst I've seen, and the emotional manipulation is quite insidious.

A few weeks later, I got a bug report to a different repo. This one was also deleted before I could reply to it, see if you can spot that it is AI generated:

I've been trying to use the Threads tool to visualize some conversations but I'm running into a serious problem, and it's really frustrating!

When I input the URL for a post with a substantial number of replies, the script seems to hang indefinitely. I've waited more than 15 minutes on a couple of occasions, and nothing seems to happen. This is not what I expected, especially since the README mentions large conversations may take a long time, but doesn’t specify any limits or give guidance on what users should do if it doesn’t respond at all!

It's unclear what's actually happening here. Is the script failing silently? Is it the API timing out? Why isn’t there any sort of progress notification built into the tool? It feels like a complete dead end.

Can you please add some kind of error handling or logging feature to the Threads script? It would be helpful if it could at least inform the user when a timeout occurs or if the API response is simply taking too long. Additionally, could you clarify the maximum number of replies that can be handled? It’s really inconvenient to have no idea if the script is still processing or if it’s just broken.

Thanks for addressing this. I hope to see improvements soon.

• The emotional manipulation starts in the first line - telling me how frustrated the user is.
• It turns the blame on me for providing poor guidance.
• Then the criticism of the tool.
• Next, a request that I do work.
• Finally some more emotional baggage for me to carry.

I'm not alone in getting these - other people have also received similar spam

To be fair to Codeberg, they are under attack and are trying to stop these specious complaints reaching maintainers.

But, still, search the socials and you'll find a stream of frustrated developers.

Woke this morning to my first ever AI generated spam issue on a repo. Got it via email. When I went to check it out at Codeberg, it had already been moderated. Wonder how many others were affected.I immediately knew it was AI spam due to the overuse of emojis…🎉

What's Going On⁉️

I can only think of a few possibilities - none of them particularly positive.

• Attacking the viability of CodeBerg - make users abandon it for a different platform.

Grinding down open source maintainers with AI

https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/07/grinding-down-open-source-maintainers-with-ai/

Early one morning I received an email notification about a bug report to one of my open source projects. I like to be helpful and I want people who use my stuff to have a good time, so I gave it my attention. Here's what it said:

😱 I Can't Use On This Day 😭

Seriously, What’s Going On?! 🔍
I’ve been trying to use the On This Day feature, but it’s just not working for me! 😩
Every time I input my details, it says I have no posts for today, even though I know I’ve posted stuff! 🧐

Here’s My Setup: ⚙️

• Python 3.x 🐍
• Access token fully generated (I triple-checked!) 🔑
• Attempted on multiple instances but still nothing! 😩😩

Could It Be a Bug? 🤔

I’m really starting to doubt my posting history! 😳
Is it supposed to show only specific types of posts?
I’ve made some pretty epic posts before! 💥💬

Documentation Confusion 📚

The README says to register for an access token but doesn’t clarify if it factors into this feature! 🤔❓
Did I miss something REALLY important?!
Help me figure this out, please!!! 😱

Feature Suggestion 💭

If this is broken, can we at least have a debug mode to log what’s happening! 😬
I need to know if it’s truly my fault or the code’s! 🔍🛠
Thanks for looking into this TRAGIC situation!!! 😭💔

P.S. My friends ARE posting on this day and their instances work!! 😤
I feel so left out!! 😟
Let’s get this sorted ASAP! ⚡

OK, that's a lot of Emoji - too much even for me! But if one of my users needs help, I'm there for them! As the feature works for me, I decided I'd ask for the output of the app. Maybe there'd be a clue in the minimal debugging output it had.

I clicked on the link to the Codeberg repository and was hit be a 404! What? I clicked on the link to the user "simpleseaport2" but that was also broken.

"Seriously, What’s Going On?! 🔍"

It looks like Codeberg has been hit by a wave of spam bug reports. I read through the bug report again, slightly more awake, and saw just how content free it was. Yes, it is superficially well structured, the Emoji are a bit over-the-top but not the worst I've seen, and the emotional manipulation is quite insidious.

A few weeks later, I got a bug report to a different repo. This one was also deleted before I could reply to it, see if you can spot that it is AI generated:

I've been trying to use the Threads tool to visualize some conversations but I'm running into a serious problem, and it's really frustrating!

When I input the URL for a post with a substantial number of replies, the script seems to hang indefinitely. I've waited more than 15 minutes on a couple of occasions, and nothing seems to happen. This is not what I expected, especially since the README mentions large conversations may take a long time, but doesn’t specify any limits or give guidance on what users should do if it doesn’t respond at all!

It's unclear what's actually happening here. Is the script failing silently? Is it the API timing out? Why isn’t there any sort of progress notification built into the tool? It feels like a complete dead end.

Can you please add some kind of error handling or logging feature to the Threads script? It would be helpful if it could at least inform the user when a timeout occurs or if the API response is simply taking too long. Additionally, could you clarify the maximum number of replies that can be handled? It’s really inconvenient to have no idea if the script is still processing or if it’s just broken.

Thanks for addressing this. I hope to see improvements soon.

• The emotional manipulation starts in the first line - telling me how frustrated the user is.
• It turns the blame on me for providing poor guidance.
• Then the criticism of the tool.
• Next, a request that I do work.
• Finally some more emotional baggage for me to carry.

I'm not alone in getting these - other people have also received similar spam

To be fair to Codeberg, they are under attack and are trying to stop these specious complaints reaching maintainers.

But, still, search the socials and you'll find a stream of frustrated developers.

Woke this morning to my first ever AI generated spam issue on a repo. Got it via email. When I went to check it out at Codeberg, it had already been moderated. Wonder how many others were affected.I immediately knew it was AI spam due to the overuse of emojis…🎉

What's Going On⁉️

I can only think of a few possibilities - none of them particularly positive.

• Attacking the viability of CodeBerg - make users abandon it for a different platform.
• Attacking the attention of developers - make them unwilling to give attention where it is actually needed.
• Attacking the integrity of users - make them less likely to receive help because they are mistaken for AI.
• Maybe it is just a bored kid or an unethical researcher. Trying to find the limits of what a maintainer will recognise as spam?

Either way, AI bug reports like this are about as welcome as a haemorrhage in a jacuzzi.

Wenn ich gerne meinen #forgejo / #gitea server als primäre #git senke nutzen mag, aber dennoch nach #github mirrore, damit andere menschen sich erfreuen und mitmachen können.

wie sorge ich dafür, dass deren pull requests bei github ebenso zu mir nach forgejo / gitea fliessen wie meine änderungen es heute schon von forgejo nach github tun?

It's kinda weird that git was created as a distributed peer to peer version management system with no central hub and due to the forges¹ (one is even called git hub) is basically used as a server based system.²

Projects² like Radicle³ try to break this up and go back to a fully distributed system.

We have started racking servers for the Game of Trees Hub.

Our first set of servers is located in #Berlin. These servers are spares we had lying around. They aren't very fast but good enough to host our web site (https://gothub.org), monitor service health, store backups, etc.

#git repositories will be hosted on fast root servers which we plan to rent at various hosting providers soon.

We are currently finishing our deployment scripts and some minor #gameoftrees features which we must have available at launch because, these days, running a public Git hosting site is unreasonable without shutting out relentless web crawling effectively

Is anyone aware of a `git subtree split` alternative that's faster?

`git subtree split --prefix src/fonts/allsorts -b allsorts-subset-profile` in the Prince repo just took 13 minutes. It also slows down as it runs. It starts off processing about 100 commits per second but by the time it's in the 10,000s it's only managing about 10 per second.

`git-subtree` is a shell script, not sure if that is part of the problem.

Toying with the idea of trying #jj for Spades. I don't really work on a team, but I still try to not break things for other people nonetheless (like links). The key is I want my Git commit messages in Codeberg to remain clean, readable, and conventional, and I want to not break links (but have them point to the most relevant whatever). I'm very used to Git, so learning a new workflow isn't really appealing.

With Git my biggest frustration is having to force-push all the time (and also how you can only get so minute with staging diffs), and since that's because the commit chain is different, the links don't update to refer to the rebased version of that commit (which I guess is fine, but tracking them and providing a link at the top would be nice). Maybe jj kinda has a better system with change-ids but it doesn't play nice with Git web UIs like Forgejo.

Another Git frustration is just how rebasing works in general, which does tie in to the rest. Conflict resolution for me is fine, though I know this is something jj specializes in.

One thing that I really like so far reading about jj is that it has me write the commit message before committing, so that while I'm coding, that guides me. I'm not sure what the jj solution is for when I make various other changes in the pursuit of whatever end goal (fixing bugs I encountered while trying to diagnose another, for example). I'll occasionally go back and want to use those commit messages to find where I made what change, so those need to have commit messages associated with them.

If you're annoyed with #Github, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to deploy #forgejo and migrate/mirror your #git repos. If you don't want to host it yourself, there's also @Codeberg. It is slightly more effort than complaining about Github, but not much more.

Do you use #emacs to edit files in a #git repo?

If yes, you might enjoy this: https://github.com/emacsmirror/git-timemachine

(use-package git-timemachine
:ensure t
:config
(global-set-key (kbd "s-g") 'git-timemachine)
)

That means I can press windows-g to see the previous commit of the file I have open in my emacs buffer, and then "p" for earlier commits, or "n" for later commits, and then "q" to go back to the file I have opened.

Gibt es einen empfohlenen Weg, wie man auf #forgejo einen (fetch-) Mirror über SSH einrichtet? Ich habe eine remote, die Ausschließlich Authentifizierung via ssh Public Key akzeptiert, aber ich kann nur via Git/HTTPS mirroren. Oder übersehe ich da irgendwas?

Whoops, forgot to colocate your #jujutsu repo on a clone/init? Run these commands:
