Users can already login to the instance with their github accounts, so
there's no barrier to entry.
Would you mind sharing the url? A quick search didn't reveal anything.
Sure
https://code.ffmpeg.org/
Are all accounts restricted to owning a maximum of 0 repositories by
default, or is it set to 0 only for those that sign up through one of
the external logins?
It's set to 0 by default, to avoid spammers uploading junk, or just
people (ab)using it for non-ffmpeg things.
You can open issues and comment on existing PRs.
And also create PRs using the AGit workflow:
https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/agit-support/
The repo limit can manually be lifted per user. I preferred that
approach vs. the Videolan approach of completely locking down the
instance, and requiring admin approval for every single new user, which
imo is more detrimental to new contributors than a ML.
Hi Timo,
Does that mean that you cannot create forks and create PRs from that forked
repo like on GitHub?
Not sure what you mean, you need "admin approval" to be allowed to
create repos, including forks.
I don't think it's a good idea to build such entry bars.
Just to avoid abuse. Obviously you can then PR from that fork once you
got one.
Or you can submit PRs without a fork as stated above.
That's a workflow I've never heard about - same like most other contributors.
Again, that is building an entry bar.
I think people should be able to use a procedure they are familiar with.
Is it possible to create PRs from a fork on GitHub?
I'm really not sure what you're asking.
PRs are not restricted. Creating repos is.
And there is no way to NOT restrict it, unless you want to pay several
hundred Euros a month in hosting fees extra, and constantly be on the
lookout for hosting illegal/harmful things.
