Gitea VS GitExtensions

It's on the radar (as Gitea is also actively working on this - https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/35295), but I suspect you can not expect anything for a while:

"Upstream Proposal: Repository Grouping/Subgroups in Forgejo":

https://codeberg.org/fedora/forgejo-deployment/issues/224

"feat: extend Forgejo URL structure from organisation/repository to organisation/project/repository":

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9550

Here's an example off the top of my mind:

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/go.sum

I bounced away from Gitea because they don't (last time I checked) have OIDC. I started[0] trying to revive-and-drive a previous PR[1] to add it, but the test failures are beyond my motivation to investigate and resolve.

It’s coming: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/20311

I would be willing to guess that self hosting gitea as a backup mirror is less work than doing the same for Bluesky. But, just speculating

As I mentioned in a previous post - you can use "git" without Github by hosting an instance of the open-source Gitea service.

As mentioned in the last post, I keep my notes in git repositories. I originally used Obsidian for years as my note-taking application of choice after migrating away from Google Keep, using the vast library of community plugins (namely obsidian-livesync and obsidian-git) to back up and sync my notes on an interval to my 3 remotes; GitHub, my private Gitea instance for my private "second brain" type notes, and my Otterwiki instance (a wiki that runs on a git server of markdown files).

The solution to this is to use fake e-mails.

I can't say what Forgejo has over Gitea, but I can tell you Forgejo is missing everything from the 888 merged PRs in Gitea 1.23: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.23.0-rc0

Repo license support, integrated Arch package repository, automatic issue suggestions, and the new review+homepage UIs would be notable ones for me.

See this issue: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029

For years, "self-hosting" Gitea wasn't done because it was missing a bunch of useful collaboration features. Now, it looks like that gap has been closed. All of the specific features mentioned in that issue seem to have been fixed, and the big remaining task is figuring out below to actually migrate all the existing data out of GitHub -- which doesn't seem to be super high on the priority list.

That's why I wouldn't recommend "git add all", but rather use something like gitextensions [0] and visually add files or delete them, so you know what's happening in git world.

You may have a preferred tool to create commits. For instance, on Windows, I use GitExtensions 🤩 - powerful user-interface for git and very handy, as long as you don't mind using the mouse.

I never said it was a requirement. You have now accused me of saying something I'd never said, you crossed the line and goodbye.

Continue to use a crap pseudo-OS with no security and believe everyone around is a geek who is willing to learn CLI, bash, vi, git bisect, reading mans, etc. just to use it.

I agree that git is almost asking you to juggle commits.

My preference is to use temporary branches and cherry-picking instead of stashing; I mostly use a gui* to work with git so it is easy to select the two or three commits to cherry-picking or see visually if an interactive rebase would work.

I use Git Extensions myself as I find the git interface very straight forward, however they still have this fucking insane and frustrating issue: In the mergetool "Theirs" and "Mine" are swapped

Git Extensions is a more-intuitive way to manage your Git repositories in Windows. Its standalone interface serves as an effective, CLI-free means to control Git. Preferred by namtab00, because "SourceTree hides and shortcuts too much git functionality."

I presume this is where one goes to make a feature request? https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues
