|
| Currently, I use gitolite + cgit for self-hosting my projects but
| it has the obvious limitations that I have no public bug tracker
| nor an email list that people can use for contribution or
| discussions. This works for my personal projects since people can
| just send me email patches, but if I ever want to scale the
| project I am out of luck. Having something like the Sourcehut's
| todo and mailing list functionality would solve that. I think if
| this project manages to provide that, I would absolutely love to
| test it out.
|
| Edit: Just noticed that it has gitbug support, which is really
| cool! That essentially means that you are able to access your
| bugs directly from the terminal / whenever you're offline.
| Afterward, when you are online again you can commit your
| changes/comments/etc.

|
| It's not perfect, but it is a very useful tool that I use in my
| personal projects.

|
| It does seem to be entirely lacking documentation though which is
| a bit rough.

| trescenzi wrote:

|
| Honestly if I ever expect for this to be genuinely useful I
| know I should just use Gitea, but I'm still torn between
| being practical and having fun.

| "Code forge" doesn't have a dictionary definition, may or may
| be the same thing as a "software forge", and probably should
| be defined on the product page. A forum full of hackers might
| be the place to ask such a question.
|
| Just because we remember SourceForge doesn't mean the
| abstracted term is clear.

|
| Perhaps I'm inhumanly and unreasonably genius, but somehow

| no problem _understanding_ it. I mean, for context, I 'm an
| idiot who wastes time arguing on HN. I fail basic smart guy
| just for that.
