    I’ve tried a few code review tools at work and while a few suggestions are useful, most have been useless.

      I made a contribution to a project that is using AI generated reviews and the AI bot gave me something like five or six suggestions, every one of which was wrong in some way or another. Only one of the suggestions was worth considering and the code that it generated to implement that suggestion was bad to the point of being baffling.

    So… I think it’s high time to start planning an exodus.

    Is there a good alternative to GitHub?

    I have two types of repos, a few public open-source projects for which I require:

    • Basic git stuff ofc, PRs, forks, etc.
    • Issues
    • Automatic scanning for security vulnerabilities like GH does
    • CI on PRs and nightly CRON based, free and allowing both cloud-hosted runners and adding self-hosted runners
    • Ability to host a static documentation site

    Plus private ones where I don’t need any bells and whistles, just a git hoster for myself and no one else.

    Is there something free that provides these things and doesn’t suck? If I go to GitLab’s page then it says:

    so that’s fucked too now, huh

      oh GitLab is terrible on several levels and is definitely best avoided — for some reason, they think that competing with github involves making all of github’s mistakes, but with a much worse UI

      so far I’ve had good luck with codeberg. of your requirements, the only missing feature seems to be vulnerability scanning. CI is available and pretty good, but you have to ask for it to be enabled for your account. I think you’re able to hook self-hosted runners into codeberg’s CI frontend, but the process to do so confused the hell out of me, so you may have to dig a bit to figure out how it works.

      Re the GitLab marketing: what does it mean, what toolchains are they referring to, and what is “native AI”? Does that even mean anything, or is it just marketing gibberish to impress executives?

        “beware, for I am a leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™” is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect an evil wizard to scream moments before I hit him in the head with a mace

      If I had my druther’s I’d make my own hosting and call it “UnaGit”, and pretend it’s unagi/eel themed, when it is actually teddy K themed
