Git repos are distributed by design. I bet all the contributors have at least 1 branch (probably closer to an average of 3) of this project on at least 1 computer that they own.

I moved stuff out of github to a private codeberg while walking my dog.

The moat on that is non existant.

The reason people cite when defending Github usually isn't the repisitory hosting itself, but the extra features like oull request management and issue tracker that also generate massive network effects by enabling the same accounts to participate in all public projects. Github is nore of a social network posing as a development tool.

Don't forget the little `alpha` tag next to tangled !

If I'm working in software development, the last thing I want to do is trust my coding workflow to an alpha-state platform.

Surely can't be worse than GitHub going down every 15 minutes no?
reply
Also remember "git" is decentralized itself, you're supposed to have your git repo locally too, if PR's, or issues or comments are "alpha" your code shouldn't be affected by it at all

Im personally down to try alpha software usually, i just havent found the need to retrain all my muscle memory to not use GH yet, as much as I hate it's owned by microsoft nowadays.

They also do offer pretty good "free tier" services for CI via Actions that otherwise you'd need to pay yourself

Codeberg is not keen on closed-source repos.

Also, I moved about 10 repos to a private Forgejo installation with pretty average (non-trivial) GH actions workflows. Zero repos has workflows running oob (java, .net, node). The moat is a bit there.

> Codeberg is not keen on closed-source repos.

A feature, not a bug. If I go to a website meant to distribute source repos (git, etc), I expect them to be FOSS. Also, the title mentions 'EU Open Sources [...]' so this is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Either way, perfect is the enemy of good, and this is good. You can find hypocrisy or lack of perfectionism anywhere.

does it matter if we have most of our stuff on gh private repos?

it's juste a model from Technical University of Munich not an official model from ENTSOE for TYNDP
reply
It is actually an model that has been developed in collaboration with entso-e by Open Energy Transition. You can read more about it here: https://open-tyndp.openenergytransition.org/

What exactly is the issue with that?

He just told you; US platform.
reply
It can be hosted in multiple locations.

I guess if the github UI becomes critical to their continued development or PR then they expose themselves to a potential rug pull by github/microsoft.

I do not know much about the project so I can not tell if that is concern or if there is some other concern at play here or if those concerns apply to this project or not.

Those are the types of details I wanted to see in the comment.
