Gitea/Forgejo mirror

[ThatOneCalculator]

Since Gitea/Forgejo is going federated soon, it'd probably be very useful to have a two-way mirror on an instance.

Context?

Context: Gitea (and its main fork Forgejo) are FOSS, sorta-federated/Fediverse alternatives to GitHub. Forgejo is to GitHub what Fedi is to Twitter.

A mirror is a way to have a synced repository on two different software forges

What advantages are we going to get from this?

[ThatOneCalculator]

• Federated issues/prs
• Entirely free software (no GitHub copilot reading ur code)
• Floss like a boss

Entirely free software (no GitHub copilot reading ur code)

But I let Copilot write my code already :flushed:

Federated issues/prs

They work how? (In conjunction with GitHub)

[ThatOneCalculator]

It's in beta rn but Gitea/Forgejo instances can make issues/PRs/commits/whatever on repos not on their instance. Like someone on git.instance.gay can interact with a repo on code.ilike.men

[Craftplacer]

Again, does it work with GitHub? Because we will be relying on GitHub's services unless we have better alternatives.

[ThatOneCalculator]

No, it doesn't. Also woodpecker ci >>>>>> gh actions

[Craftplacer]

I would switch if the other solutions would fit in, and if I could afford them (as in money, another reasons why I rely on GitHub)

[ThatOneCalculator]

Codeberg (the most popular Forgejo instance) has free CI on approval for FLOSS projects :D

[ThatOneCalculator]

Btw -- https://lavaforge.org is offering free CI rn so 🤑
