Github has been down consistently over the last few months - does it make sense to switch to alternatives?



What are people using as alternatives for GitHub Actions specifically these days?

I answered this in another thread, if you're already running a large GitHub organization, GitLab is the closest alternative in terms of features

A big plus is that it also has an open-source Community Edition that you can self-host


I believe that the potential of "local first" forges is overlooked. The poster implies that the alternative to GitHub is GitLab or something. In fact, we have to collaborate locally with agents these days. When you have ten local worktrees changing in real time, going through a cloud server might not be the best plan. https://replicated.live/blog/crdt

My org self hosts the community version of gitlab and we are perfectly happy with it. Manage your own infrastructure, put the work into maintaining it and you'll have much fewer headaches.

If you accept a non-Git VCS, Pijul Nest.

Forgejo is splendid. Codeberg is a hosted instance; depending on what you’re developing it may or may not be a good fit for you. But the Forgejo stack itself is decently light-weight to self-host, very fast to use, and is easy to navigate.


my favourites are sourcehut (that has excellent ci, and does not try to be a github clone) and codeberg (with slightly more straightforward migration path from github)

DSCI - http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io

- lightweight ( single binary written on golang ) - ci runner embedded ( podman / docker ) - pipelines are written on general programming languages - no YAML craziness - Perl/Python/Bash/Raku/Powershell/Php/Golang support - code editor


cursor are launching a new one soon - https://cursor.com/origin

I personally host a forgejo instance on a private VPS ; so far almost no maintenance except protecting it from ai-crawlers[#1]. If you don't want the hassle, codeberg.org is a public instance of forgejo.

I configure my local repositories to push on both Github and my forgejo instance. I am not using the CI much for my private projects (local tests are enough in my case).


You might want to consider checking out GitLab and Gitee.

You mean Gitea [0], a community-driven fork is Forgejo. There was some drama, have to admit is still don't really understand it (ask an llm I'd say). Codeberg [2] uses Forgejo and offers it as a hosted service.

Technically gitee is also a git hosting provider: https://gitee.com/ (scroll to bottom right corner for language switcher).

Other way round. Forgejo is a fork of gitea

That's what I said, but indeed in a very bad way :)

I’ve been happy self hosting gitea
