Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

So... I think it's high time to start planning an exodus.

Is there a good alternative to GitHub?

I have two types of repos, a few public open-source projects for which I require:

  • Basic git stuff ofc, PRs, forks, etc.
  • Issues
  • Automatic scanning for security vulnerabilities like GH does
  • CI on PRs and nightly CRON based, free and allowing both cloud-hosted runners and adding self-hosted runners
  • Ability to host a static documentation site

Plus private ones where I don't need any bells and whistles, just a git hoster for myself and no one else.

Is there something free that provides these things and doesn't suck? If I go to GitLab's page then it says:

so that's fucked too now, huh

If I had my druther’s I’d make my own hosting and call it “UnaGit”, and pretend it’s unagi/eel themed, when it is actually teddy K themed
