@ruawhitepaw For #Git, you could try Codeberg (running Forgejo) or sr.ht (running SourceHut). The former is a tad more GitHub-like, with a clean, friendly interface. The latter feels more ‘raw’ as it prefers making the most out of Git’s existing capabilities rather than replicating them. Both run on and value free software (in great contrast to GitHub), which I consider eminently important. :gutkato_hura:

For #Darcs, there’s darcs hub and Smederee. The difference between those is similar, though both of them are considerably more barebones and Smederee seems to be under more active development than the more established darcs hub. :gutkato_klapkomputilo:

I gave #Pijul a serious shake for 2–3 weeks & I’ll be moving back to #darcs & #Git as the CLI UX situation is severely lacking. I thought it was just a bunch of nits, but when I needed to correct a commit message 3 commits ago, I see there is effectively NO rebase stategy. There still isn’t a good email story & TOML config sucks (give me something plaintext *or* typed with LSP support).

I like the keys for identity, the performance improvements are nice, but until rebasing & a few other nits are addressed in a meaningful way, I don’t think I will be recommending outside of the abstract notion of folks should watch the project since it *is* full of good fundamentals. …And maybe the Nest situation could be improving walking back the serverless trend??

Jujutsu is on the radar but something smells funky about it. Maybe it’s the Google engineer disclaimer; maybe the Git compatibility pushing things into limitations; maybe it’s that the source is on Microsoft GitHub; maybe it’s the docs using checkbox hacks.
