Hello, I was thinking of moving all my open source projects here. Anyone have any opinions? Excuse the post if this has been discussed previously, I was unable to find anything directly relating to peoples opinions on using it.

Edit: Lots of great discussion going on here! Thanks to everyone who contributed! I wasn't sure before but now I am set on moving all my projects over. The fact that it will be federated makes it even more appealing given that github is now requiring phone numbers and other personal information in order to create an account on their site.

I like it a lot. Much better UI than GitHub and perfectly reliable and not directly feeding all my code into Microsoft's license violations. I also recently heard that you can't search through GitHub repos anymore without an account, so that's another reason for Codeberg to me.

Two things to be aware of:

  • They ask you to only put open-source repos on there. Sometimes you might have a repo containing personal configuration, which you should then put up on a different service (or backup locally).
  • CI/CD isn't as readily available. They've been working on an integration with Woodpecker CI. Presumably something like Travis CI would also work. But yeah, honestly haven't tried getting CI/CD going so far...

From their terms of service:

They (private repos) are also allowed for really small & personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage.

I'd guess that most private git repositories are small enough to fall under this category (unless you track large non-text files in git). This also seems like a very reasonable policy, considering that they're a non-profit and they want to focus on supporting open source projects.
