Thanks Greg: You're right, we won't be able to move easily out of GitHub. So our Git Forge would probably be useful as a Mirror or Backup, in case GitHub is inaccessible for some reason? Some CI Jobs could also move out of GitHub, since we're hitting the ASF Limits on GitHub Actions.
>From https://infra.apache.org/project-repo-policy.html << - We recommend using GitHub for your interactions with writable Git repositories. - Those who have reservations about GitHub's terms and conditions can use Apache's GitBox, which also gives full access to Apache's writable Git repositories. ... - ASF projects must house their project code in ASF supported services (Subversion, GitBox). >> Lup On Sun, Jan 12, 2025 at 11:06 AM Gregory Nutt <spudan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 1/11/2025 6:00 PM, Tomek CEDRO wrote: > > On Sat, Jan 11, 2025 at 11:02 PM Lee, Lup Yuen <lu...@appkaki.com> > wrote: > >> What is Forgejo?
