Not just community managed but operated as a non-profit. Codeberg won’t be scraping your deleted history to train their LLMs that they will sell back to you unlike Microsoft.
I am still convinced Git is overrated & overly complicated—and it is a shame all of the decent forges (even basic ones) are all built around Git.
@toastal @CaptainStack While I agree that git is overcomplicated in some ways, I've always found it harder to get people to try new vcs systems than to try new forges. To get them to change both at the same time would be even harder I think, and in particular would make migrating existing projects from github to elsewhere much more painful.
What's better than git though? I think they only other system I've used is TFS and I didn't think it was any better.
Depends how you view it & how green the grass is on the other side. Personally the Forgejo approach of copying MS GitHub to ease onboarding doesn’t resonate with me as a user over, say, making a better product by fixing some of the major flaws like the pull request model being a major slowdown, CI in YAML soup, needless social features… but others prefer this approach & a rocked boat is scary.
