I'm off GitHub
Ok, that's it. I'm officially off GitHub. First I moved all of my private repos to my Synology, which was extremely easy to do. I did that around a week or so ago and it's be working great.
Then I had to start sorting and moving all my public repos to Codeberg. Many were archived as I no longer maintained the projects, which left me with just 7 actual repos that I needed to move.
Pure Blog/Comments and Simple.css were the most challenging as they all had other people who relied on them, but I managed to get them moved with a little bit of messing around.
The others were super simply, I used Codeberg's migration tool to migrate the repos over, the ran a command locally to point my repos to a new target:
git remote set-url origin git@codeberg.org:kevquirk/[new-repo].gitThat's it! Repo migrated.
Thoughts on Codeberg
It's fine. And I don't mean that negatively - there's a lot less going on in the UI than on GitHub, but everything is still familiar and similarly laid out. There's been almost zero learning curve moving from GitHub to Codeberg, so props to the Codeberg team for that.
I've applied for a Coderberg membership as I think it's important to support the open source projects we use, so hopefully that will be approved soon.
Overall I'm very happy with the move. All the old GitHub repos have had their README.md files updated to point to Codeberg, and they too have been archived.
So that's one less piece of big tech I need to rely on.
