Is SourceHut good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Show HN: Gitdot – a better GitHub. Open-source, anti-AI, and written in Rust

  The offering in question is "A better GitHub" so you are correct. That is an actual quote from the FAQ [0] by the way. In comparison CodeBerg [1] and SourceHut [2] both offer Git hosting but don't merely describe themselves as "GitHub but X".

• Why I'm leaving GitHub for Forgejo

  Right, I always forget that the sr.ht link is to the application itself. For anybody else who needs it, the page with info about the service is here: https://sourcehut.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Incident with Multple GitHub Services

  I'm probably going to use source hut in the future. It allows contributions via email without an account requirement. https://sourcehut.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos

  Sourcehut comes to my mind: https://sourcehut.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Codeberg Is Down

  Here's the pricing page, for anyone curious: https://sourcehut.org/pricing/ > All users who host projects on SourceHut are expected to pay according to their means. Choose the subscription plan most appropriate to your means — there is no difference between the subscriptions besides price. Interesting approach and asking for some money upfront to cover the actual hosting costs and other stuff feels pretty good -... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service

  > I think it would've been far easier to build a decent GUI around that flow, with some email integration + a patch preview tool, rather than adding activitypub, but oh well. Check out Sourcehut (https://sourcehut.org/). It uses a mailing list-based workflow so contributing code or bug reports is relatively effortless and doesn't require a Sourcehut account. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Why Nextcloud feels slow to use

  NextCloud does feel slow. What I want is not only a cloud service that does lots of common tasks, but it also should do it lightly and simply. I'm extremely tempted to write a lightweight alternative. I'm thinking sourcehut [1] vs GitHub. [1] https://sourcehut.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• The GitHub website is slow on Safari

  Just migrate to Forgejo/Codeberg[1][2] or SourceHut[3]. Both are like a light speed compared to GitHub and GitLab. [1] https://forgejo.org [2] https://codeberg.org [3] https://sourcehut.org. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Forgejo: A self-hosted lightweight software forge

  b) The barrier to create accounts on yet another platform to contribute. In that regards I find the original way of just using email's to send patches just such a brilliant idea, because at least it eliminates my second point completely. That's why I think sourcehut [0] is such a nice idea at least in theory. Though now you have to teach people not only how to use "git" but also hot to use "git" via email :D... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Anyonne tried alternative company models (like a co-op) for SaaS?

  Https://sourcehut.org/ is a sort of coop open source project and a SaaS with an interesting model. There is also https://opencollective.com/ which provides a platform for collective ownership of an online business. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Using Git Offline

  Do you know SourceHut? https://sourcehut.org/ I would be really curious to have your opinion about it as compared to how it was 14 years ago. I feel like SourceHut does a really good job helping on the tooling side (it's super easy to setup a mailing list). Also I find Aerc very cool for that. The author describes it here: https://drewdevault.com/2022/07/25/Code-review-with-aerc.html. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Email and Git = <3

  A few comments in-line, but I don't want to "sell" anything to you, so just FWIW. > The amount of "gotchas" in this process and the tooling required just to use git + email seems insane to me. The base system is really, really simple, but there are some common rules/guidelines that just help when working together, and those are required for forge based workflows too (or do you like a single commit touching a dozen... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

  > We're planning on expanding to support other forges, Just want to put in a request for SourceHut support in case it's not already on your list. Sometimes it gets overlooked in favor of the big corporate forges. https://sourcehut.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Let's Make Sure GitHub Doesn't Become the Only Option

  Not shilling here, but big upvote for Sourcehut - https://sourcehut.org/ When you pay money to Drew DeVault and his crew, their work is all open source. And, that includes work outside of Sourcehut. They are also hired guns for existing open source projects. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Let's Make Sure GitHub Doesn't Become the Only Option

  There's a number of places out there, some of which also support alternatives to Git itself. By no means a complete list and in no particular order: GitLab - https://about.gitlab.com/ Sourcehut - https://sourcehut.org/ Codeberg - https://codeberg.org/ Launchpad - https://launchpad.net/ Debian Salsa - https://salsa.debian.org/public Pagure - https://pagure.io/pagure For self hsoted options, there's these below... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Is there any way I can make a career out of developing free software?

  Drew Devault is an example of someone that has done this. He has developed many useful pieces of software. He eventually developed sourcehut, which is a code hosting (and many other things now) platform that is developed as free software. And it seems to make enough money to support him and a few others.
