    > Deleted all the forks I had on GitHub, moved the very few repos I care about over to Codeberg

    I believe moving over to #Codeberg is a big improvement over relying on #GitHub (which, as #SourceForge once was, is the center of gravity for FOSS projects' development).

    I closed all my repos on GH some years back. I kept one or two repos on #BitBucket for years, but they were basically dead. When BB rid itself of #Mercurial ( #hg ) and switched solely to #git, I took advantage of the opportunity to close my account there.

    That said, large numbers of people moving en mass from GitHub to Codeberg would just move the problem to a different platform. The problem being people rely heavily on a centralized service.

    As for GitHub, I still have my account, and with job-hunting, I really need to put something there. Seriously, I have had some places send rejection notices because they couldn't see any evidence (on GitHub) that I knew anything about the job. But I really only want GH to be a secondary mirror of a main repo hosted elsewhere.

    Most of what I do goes into my #Fossil repo, but I'm also trying to use #Darcs, #Breezy, #Pijul, and #Hg enough to be able to fairly say which ones work best for me.

    You'll notice that #Git is not in that list. I'm having to use git whenever I deal with other people's code projects, so I already know that it isn't tailored for my needs.

    I also think that our #code-hosting solutions needn't presume #git. All of #hg, #fossil, #darcs, #pijul, #brz can be viable depending on the project & organization.

    @geniusmusing I find #git to be too big and complex for my needs (and arguably for most projects). I know it “won” and even some projects that formerly used another #VCS ( such as Mercurial #hg, #darcs, Bazaar #bzr / Breezy #brz ) are switching.

    In the plans: a very limited #Kallithea install (with git and Mercurial) and #Fossil for Federati ... when I have more funds and energy to devote to getting it going on its own VPS.

    A Categorical Theory of Patches

    A formalization of the #Darcs theory of patches. Darcs ( http://darcs.net/ ) is a #DVCS, like #git or #hg or #Fossil, but based around patches.

    2. A Categorical Theory of Patches
      When working with distant collaborators on the same documents, one often uses a version control system, which is a program tracking the history of files and helping importing modifications brought by others as patches. The implementation of such a system requires to handle lots of situations depending on the operations performed by users on files, and it is thus difficult to ensure that all the corner cases have been correctly addressed. Here, instead of verifying the implementation of such a system, we adopt a complementary approach: we introduce a theoretical model, which is defined abstractly by the universal property that it should satisfy, and work out a concrete description of it. We begin by defining a category of files and patches, where the operation of merging the effect of two coinitial patches is defined by pushout. Since two patches can be incompatible, such a pushout does not necessarily exist in the category, which raises the question of which is the correct category to represent and manipulate files in conflicting state. We provide an answer by investigating the free completion of the category of files under finite colimits, and give an explicit description of this category: its objects are finite sets labeled by lines equipped with a transitive relation and morphisms are partial functions respecting labeling and relations.

    I think y’all know I favor the #Fossil #SCM / #DVCS over #Git (though I’m giving #Mercurial ( #Hg ) another look as well. I’m resource-constrained as well as energy-limited, but I have been thinking of standing up a miniature software forge for !FNetworks projects and users, likely using Kallithea (which can use both Hg and Git) and also having some Fossil repos (but not as part of a forge).

    Planning to play with #Kallithea https://kallithea-scm.org/ soon. I’m still very much in favor of #Fossil https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki but I’m not rigid about it (the way many #Git and #Github users are). If either Git or #Mercurial ( #Hg ) https://www.mercurial-scm.org/ are appropriate for the situation, I’ll use them.

    Before I slam #Node.JS entirely, I should admit that I’m considering making one implementation of my #vaporware #socnet project with Node. (There were _two_ such project in mind, but it looks like the source for the other vaporware project [in Python / Django] may have been deleted when #BitBucket dropped #Hg repositories. I was just going to take over where the original person left off, but if I’d need to rewrite it from scratch, it is no longer the same project and I may as well just implement it as part of the other project)

    I much prefer #Fossil to #Git.

    I haven't really used #Breezy / #brz ( the actively developed fork of #Bazaar / #bzr ) or #Mercurial / #hg or #Darcs or #Pijul. I should explore some of these.

    Maybe I should see about getting a #Launchpad account.

    @moonman My feelings exactly. I didn't have anything original there ( #Github ) in the first place, but I had patches for others' projects. I removed everything several years ago. Yes, a couple of potential employers have passed on hiring me because my GH account was empty. I just (A) don't want to support centralized facilities like GH or SourceForge any more, when you can host your own #git / #hg / #darcs / fossil; and (B) as my role at work has changed more toward user support, I'm not creating or using such patches any more, so if someone found and started using them, they'd be potentially doing it wrong / importing security holes.

    ( For a while, I had my own #Fossil repo with some original stuff, but thanks to hosting changes are $EMPLOYER work scheduling / hotel Internet, that's all gone, too. )

    @musicman I normally only use #git when I have no other choice. Its commands seem obtuse when compared with mercurial ( #hg ) and #fossil ( which is still my favorite dvcs [ and favorite vcs in general, as I never used #cvs or #svn ] ). I have to look up everything I want to do with it.

    If #git isn't the right version-control system for your work, there are others that may or may not fit your needs. Look at #hg (mercurial), #bzr (bazaar), #fossil, #darcs, or #svn (subversion). I know svn has a gui tool available for Windows. Not sure what kind of gui tools the others may offer.

    @question Yes, #git uses #SHA-1 for its hashes. So does #fossil and #hg (mercurial) and #darcs, but hg (and probably the others too) is working toward replacing SHA-1 with a stronger hash function.
