| schestowitz | @Sawmain @schestowitz You can self-host something like cgit or gitea. You can collaborate over email, which is well supported in git itself. If you want it hosted by someone else, try #sourcehut. | Jun 05 17:52 |
| schestowitz | Interesting to note, you can set multiple push URLs for a single remote in git. This allows you switch to another primary location for your git repos, and keep the old locations updated whenever you push. You won't have to fear users who are used to the old locations being lost, and you can reflect where the main repo is in your README. | Jun 05 17:52 |
