For example:
-
Is there an alternative to GitHub Desktop that works for Codeberg or do I just have to use the CLI for it?
-
If I have to use the CLI, is using git for Codeberg any different than using it for GitHub?
Git is git, it’ll be the same regardless of where your repository is hosted.
As for a GitHub desktop alternative, you can use any of the thousands of git guis.
Among those limitless git guis I started trying out sourcegit and it seems pretty good. To date magit is the only other one I’ve tried, and it’s also really good.
Magit is built for emacs. Unless, OP is willing to see the positives of emacs and willing to learn a new editor. Switching won’t be that simple.
Well there are a lot of positives… anyway I just mentioned it as a point of reference. If you know Magit, you know it’s good.
In general you are not allowed to have private repos if you don’t contribute to open source.
https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/
They do recognize that private repos are sometimes needed, so there is a guideline.
Codeberg doesn’t have much compute available for CI runners, and asks that you use the runners they do have sparingly. If you’re into the self-hosting thing, you can run the Forgejo runner, which has the same workflow syntax as GitHub Actions, or you can run something like Woodpecker CI, which has its own workflow syntax. I’ve had better luck running Woodpecker myself and I have it running jobs for all my projects as well as a Renovate bot that runs every hour.
As far as I know GitHub Desktop also works with other git hosting plattforms.
It may be outdated info though. Have you tried it with codeberg?
is there an alternative front-end for codeberg like there is gothub for github ?
gothub
I read that as “gothhub” at first 😄
Sad that this alternative for goth coders doesn’t seem to exist :(
This is your opportunity to build one.
