It blows my mind that so many devs did not see this coming the moment Microsoft bought it. I was waiting for this to happen the moment I found out about the acquisition.
Pretty sure I had Embrace Extend Extinguish as my 'status' when microsoft inevitably introduced that linkedin style social media bullshit to a git server.
Plenty of good alternatives out there, or roll your own!
Use Codeberg, or self-host Forgejo
All I want for Christmas in Forgejo federation.
Codeberg has a 750mb limit, for me that is not enough. I need to store asset data as well.
Split the repository? It's not an unreasonable thing to do.
That said, FreeBSD's repo is 2ish GiB, and Linux is 3, LLVM is huge too. Not unreasonable to want to mirror those.
If you ask nicely they can increase the limit :). They have the limit to avoid abuse with people storing movies or whatnot (the limit is a recent addition)
Thanks I ll try that
