Is SourceHut a good Github alternative?
sourcehut is a network of useful open source tools for software project maintainers and collaborators, including git repos, bug tracking, continuous integration, and mailing lists.
This depends on what you want. Sourcehut reminds me of old CVS UIs and it is heavily influenced by its author's needs, which are not exactly mainstream. I'd recommend Forgejo if you want something that looks and feels more like Github.
Codeberg is one of the largest Forgejo instances, run by a German non-profit, and is where Forgejo is developed. It also has a hosted Actions runner (Woodpecker CI) and is pretty close to Github overall.
There is one important feature difference: it does not allow for private closed-source software. Only temporarily private repos.
Check out this blog for a Github -> Codeberg migration story:
+1 for forgejo and codeberg
Codeberg also has gadgetbridge, eternity for Lemmy, tenacity (new audacity without tracking), librewolf, kbin, fitotrack, fedilab, flomarkt (Facebook marketplace alternative), and a ton of other activity-pub specific projects on it.
Have a look at Codeberg.
Already did, and will use it for public FOSS repos. Looking for something for my private ones, tho...
don't they now have private reps with memory limit of 100mbs per account?
The creator of SourceHut (Drew DeVault) seems to sometimes have controversial views on various technical topics. This seems to attract a certain amount of the wrong kind of attention (e.g. DDoS attacks) though I wouldn't necessarily blame that on the creator.
It also seems to be relatively focused on email based workflows compared to other forges.
