My suggestion, get as many private copies of emulators you can before they go after all the Github ones. Seems to be more and more take-downs are happening lately.
It really is too bad we dont have a federated github alternative. I know theres some projects in development, but I can see the emulator scene getting harder and harder to get into if popular repos go down. Decades of work, gone.
We do have a federated GitHub alternative. Perhaps not too mature yet, but it does indeed exist. Forgejo
I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I've seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo
Originally, it wasn't. Codeberg used to run Gitea. Forgejo is a fork of that, which came later.
Not really federated. You can't, for example, raise issues or set PR requests from another instance.
They have been working on Federation: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls?q=&type=all&sort=&state=closed&labels=79349&milestone=0&project=0&assignee=0&poster=0&archived=false
Yep its not nearly done....but I have a server and running through testing. git itself is fairly federated, but the support structures (PRs/MRs, review process, easy wiki/issue tracking, etc...) is where the real work is at.
I'm running as server as well, but have not tested federation (yet).
Nice! Them and gitea are really stable!
I thought codeberg was just a really well maintained and customized gitea instance...?
They have been doing so for a while now.
