git repo hosting #

github #

• pro: gets the job done!!
• pro: people actually find your stuff (organically) with tags, etc
• pro: the search is good
• con?: lowkey too many features, i dont need actions and all that stuff but does no harm so idk…
• con: microsoft
• con: proprietary
• con: github copilot copyright debacle

gitlab #

• pro: can be self hosted
• con: doesnt work without js enabled
• con: dont like the UX. also the sidebar feels weird to use but i guess they had to do something different than github (apart from being worse lol)
• con: still has no rss feeds and likely will never have them

manual git hosting #

• pro: decentralization, own your stuff, etc
• con: seems unnecessary? i make backups anyways and github even put some of it in the arctic lol
• con: im lazy

i like the barebones feel of cgit, but gitea looks interesting too.

do people still use bitbucket? is that still a thing?

cgit-pink looks promising but lets see…
