what is the best alternative to github ? my main requirements are that

  1. it should be free, and
  2. it should not go down or get discontinued anytime soon

    NLNet (the same org that funds lemmy development and a lot of other great open-source projects), has funded to make gitea federated, but so far there hasn’t been much movement on it afaik.

    Gitea is already far better than github, but because it lacks federation, you have to make tons of accounts on each different server.

      if the admin has turned on the option, folks can log in with github or gitlab or discord or a community OAuth/LDAP/etc server.

      full federation will be great, but there’s technically more options than just “tons of accounts” right now already.

      can’t find docs, but the web admin interface makes it pretty easy to set up.
