Yeah I’m into Gitness
Gitness goddamn code to compile
We’re done. This guy wins the Internet. We can all go home now.
You’re down with the Gitness?

Looks interesting, although the comments about other git repo services being bloated, complicated, and resource heavy, followed by a paragraph about AI features that have been added, with more planned in the future, seems a touch ironic to me.
My first thought is that it’s just an AI training move
Isn’t the whole point of these things the “bloated” (CI/CD, issue tracker, merge requests, mirroring, etc) part? Otherwise we’d all be using bare git repos over ssh (which works great btw!)
It’s like complaining about IDE bloat while not using a text editor. Or complaining there’s too many knives in a knife set instead of buying just the chef knife.
Im amused that the repo for it is on github and not on, well, Gitness
total power move
Nobody name their new product Gitler for some reason. Such a good name.
The logo writes itself.
Gitea and Forgejo are the way to go. Especially Forgejo which is working on federation just like Lemmy but for Forgejo repos and instances.
There hasn’t been a new Git repo launch in almost a decade
Am I the only person annoyed they seem to mistake repositories for forges? It’s already annoying when casual users say “git” for “GitHub”, but those guys actually want to build a forge, explaining they’re going to do better than anyone else. Maybe start by properly using the terms?
Here I am knowing the difference between git and GitHub, GitLab, …
But what’s a ‘forge’ please ?
That’s the name we use to designate software like GitHub, GitLab and similar, which provide repositories hosting and tooling like issue trackers. It’s supposed to be named like that because of SourceForge, the oldest of such tools, although I didn’t hear the term “forge” before the last 5 years or so, long after SourceForge demise, so I imagine there is a bit of nostalgia in this name (not sure who is nostalgic of SourceForge, though 😂). The wikipedia page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)
I myself have launched several new git repos in the last decade. Where’s my article TechCrunch?
Also plain wrong - Codeberg launched in 2019. Now the question is: did the author just not know better, or is he paid not to know?
Codeberg isn’t an entirely new forge. It’s just a well-known gitea/forgejo instance. Sourcehut would probably be a better example.
Thank you for the correction! Then it’s also wrong due to Gitea which launched in 2016.
The worst part is that this is a direct quote from Harness’ CEO, not from TechCrunch author. :) Maybe they have a great product, I don’t know, but it certainly feels like an amateurish launch. :D
Yeah, if a CEO has to lie to make their product seem better, it’s blacklisted in my mind.
And of course there have been forges launched, including SourceHut, Gitea, Gogs, Forgejo…
Gitea, Gogs, Forgejo
“They are the same picture.”
I complained when the term “crypto” was co-opted. Come die with me on this hill where we care about things.
I want gitea to get federation
Seems fast compared to self-hosted GitLab or Bitbucket. I don’t see a way to add an ssh key or gpg key for code signing. No dark mode so expect to burn your retinas out in the middle of the night. I’ll wait until it’s a little more fleshed out before thinking about replacing Gitea in my network, though.
How’s it compare to gitea?
I found it much more barebones in my tinkering. It doesn’t seem to support pulling via SSH (and definitely doesn’t support signing commits). Configuration options appear extremely limited, both in documentation and the UI.
It looks nice, but I don’t really see the point to it when Gitea Actions is now a thing. Gitea is a more mature product, and is similarly fast and lightweight.
Edit: s/Gitea/Forgejo. Gitea has moved to a for-profit model since I made this comment.
Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues
AI? Not bloated? Mmm. Will stick with Gitea.
So Gitlab
Gitlab takes way more RAM to run the docker container than i want. If this is lighter, that sounds nice. And im using only the most basic functionality, so wont be much loss to me if it cant do whatever fancy stuff.
How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.
Or
, with, you know, federation?
Installed Gogs but will switch the this FOSS version tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
Gitea is in same lightweight category.
Gitea is a fork of gogs. Forgejo is a forge of Gitea too. I would suggest/use Forgejo.
well, shit, it looks like that is indeed what I want! setting it up now, thanks!
Also hosted on… GitHub! 😀
Many years ago I ran my own Gogs and it was pretty good, would recommend
Gitea?
Fair. Competition is also good.
Especially if it’s a competition to Microsoft.
Does someone have a link to an instance to view? I don’t get why their code is hosted on Github
i’m not finding a way to prevent creating users right now… i’m just able to register new users again and again on the docker run. maybe i’m just missing the config (the documentation is looking like it needs to be fleshed out).
not really trying to anyone with the url make an account on my basement computer…
