I think that federated gitlab instances could be a good next step forward for becoming independent from big companies.
At the moment I host a lot of my code to Github because of discoverability, but I do not feel comfortable with depending on Microsoft for this service. Gitlab is a self hosted Git server, but there is no way to federate the instances like on Lemmy. Are there any projects that deal with this?
Good thing about git is that it’s decentralized by design. It’s super easy to clone then push to new host.
