GitHub is basically a social code forge. I wonder what an asocial forge looks like. Tarballs with email patches seems too out there. Maybe git repository with read only web tree interface and releases, with email for bug reports and patches?

Has anyone built a hosted or trivial-to-self-host version of this that’s robust and secure? Asking for a friend.

(don’t tell me about forgejo, I tried it yesterday and it’s definitely not what I mean.)

@zeux Sourcehut (https://sr.ht) feels less social than GitHub for sure, and is hosted (or self-hostable, but not too trivially to my understanding).

@zeux it's called the Linux kernel mailing list

@StompyRobot @zeux Yes, with git instaweb as the web component 🤮

@zeux repo.or.cz?

@pkhuong This is pretty close, thanks! Kinda dated and arcane wrt UI unfortunately, but I'll keep it in mind.

@zeux A friend of mine has used https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/ for ages, seems pretty straightforward to set up.

Also, the internal web server of git could also do the job: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-GitWeb

@zeux I assume you know about tangled.org?

Based on AT proto. I don't know about it, just saw it on bsky mentions.

https://tangled.org/

@dneto I saw it but it looked more like a new take on social vs what I’m after. Also was confused by this whole new decentralized account world… will wait to explore this if it gets traction.
