@kensanata I have three questions on your migration to #cgit from #github. What made you pick it over the other options, including #fossil (which I know is different)?

Are you going to put in an easy place where people can access the repos to clone publicly? I found your method of patching pretty easily (email you diffs) but noted the public access was in a comment (somewhere).

Are you using #debian? I notices cgit didn't have a package for it upstream.

@PresGas I am using Debian and there was a cgit package. A https link is provided by cgit for every repo. I didn’t use fossil because I want to keep using git because of side effects: we use git at work and so this is “practice”.

@PresGas this is what my software wiki looks, now: alexschroeder.ch/software/Hex_ – there’s the link to cgit but also the https git url.

@kensanata Looks like you have modded your wiki to do ticketing? Cool!!

@PresGas Yeah. We’ve been using oddmuse.org for many years and only added GitHub as an afterthought so I feel quite comfortable using it for small projects like mine.
