> though Codeberg does like to add more functionality to it for practical reasons, most significantly federation, basically making a Git Forge Fediverse

@Codeberg and the Forgejo devs have been enthusiastic supporters of forge federation. But efforts to get it working precede the forking of Gitea to create Forgejo.

I first started hearing about ForgeFed and other federation projects around the time BorgSoft assimilated GritHub.

Continued thread

It would be great if we could figure out ways for code forges using different decentralisation protocols to interoperate.

For example, enabling an account on CodeBerg, federating over ForgeFed (AP-based), to contribute to a codebase developed using GitWorkshop (Nostr-based), and vice-versa. Or allowing either to interop with accounts and codebases on a SourceHut instance.

Could there be a way to do this with the distributed code forge tools built into Git itself?

#TIL about #GitWorkshop;

"Gitworkshop.dev, git-remote-nostr and ngit are tools to enable code collaboration over nostr. Gitworkshop.dev provides a visual interface to discuss proposals and open issues. git-remote-nostr enables proposal creation, review and incorporation using standard git tooling. ngit handles repository setup and advanced proposal submission."

Here's something interesting for those interested in reduced vendor lock-in in forges: git-bug, a "distributed" bug tracker "fully embedded in Git" that "prevents vendor lock-in" and doesn't "pollute your project" with "bridges to other bug trackers".

github.com/git-bug/git-bug

Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridges - git-bug/git-bug
GitHubGitHub - git-bug/git-bug: Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridgesDistributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridges - git-bug/git-bug

It would be useful to have a #BugReporting platform that works independently of individual projects.

The interface would walk you through describing exactly what's bugging you, and help you tag in all the software projects that might be implicated. A triage process would then figure out which piece of software is actually causing the bug. The issue thread for the bug can then be cloned to the issue tracker of that project.

This would be much easier to do with #ForgeFederation.

After a long break, I just started updating the list of community-hosted code forges here;

... as well as the brief intro to forge decentralisation projects at the top. If you have a P2PF wiki account, feel free to contribute. Otherwise, feel free to hit me up here with things that need updating.
