What an exciting time to be building software! With AI, we're able to achieve production outages with unprecedented frequency!

My forgejo is not down!

However, at work we use GitHub, and now I can’t deploy.

Time for sword fighting with rulers in the hallway.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I work from home. My wife is not impressed by my boredom.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Time for making out on the couch instead then!

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

This raises a question I've always wondered about: in the most technical sense, does having sex during working hours (meaning while you're being paid) make you a prostitute?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, you’re not getting paid to have sex, you’re getting paid during sex. 

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I mean, arguably, that's what sex workers say, too. That you're paying for their time and that anything that happens is a choice between two consenting adults. They're getting paid for their time and sometimes sex just happens during that time.

Only when you're talking to a cop.

Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime
That's why I bang my wife on company time

Forgero or codeberg or something else? What do you recommend?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

It is possible to migrate source code (including history) from GithHub to CodeBerg in just a few commands, and it is free for public repositories.

So I started there.

Since I like it, I'm looking into self-hosting my own Forgejo server. I expect that to be a smooth transition, since CodeBerg runs Forgejo under the hood.

Edit:

Tip: If it is public, update the GitHub project README with a link to the new location at CodeBerg.

[–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 3 points 3 days ago

You can "migrate" source code to any place you have ssh or file access to in a single command using git. That's kinda what made git so good. It's decentralized by nature.

[–] 01189998819991197253 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, interesting.

I'm looking for strictly private repositories to share with a handful of people, but I also don't mind paying.

How much maintenance does forjero require? I don't really have the capacity for much of that at the moment (thus, the paid solution search lol). Maybe I'll look into codeberg. Are they secure?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I haven't looked into their security, sorry. I have only moved public repos, so far.

I hope to try running my own forego soonish. I'll try to remember to report back.

[–] 01189998819991197253 2 points 3 days ago

Codeberg seems to be for public repos only, so my current use case. But forjero does look really nice. I really appreciate your feedback, by the way!

[–] medem@lemmy.wtf 17 points 4 days ago

Replace code written by humans with AI-generated code! They said. It will be fun! They said.

[–] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago

Long live codeberg

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Seriously: What kind of good options exist for migrating a couple GitHub repos (including CI pipelines that work across repos to deploy to azure) cleanly and quickly (i.e. including PR's, issues, etc.) to a different provider?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Here's how I handled my migration to CodeBerg:

  • Code and history - add new remote, git pull and push. Done.
  • pull requests - were not an issue for me. I generally merge them or reject them same day, so I just migrated at the end of a day when none were open.
  • Issues - I just left the GitHub issue queue behind. It is a public archive now. I know where to find it to read it. Anything that matters will get a new issue at CodeBerg, someday.
  • CI/CD - I can't comment. Mine are 95% bash anyway, so they should be easy to move, but I haven't yet. My spicy take: most GitHub Actions are a hot mess, because they were written by folks not experienced enough to just use bash. Apologies to anyone who likes GitHub Actions. I've had mostly bad experiences with them.
[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

Forgejo supports GitHub actions and of course git.

The forge metadata though? Like issues and such, are a harder problem to me

[–] Lembot_0006@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

Hurray!
