i was confused for way to long, trying to figure out
why a pilot would investigate a github alternative.

im an idiot πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

He's not even experienced, he's new! Why's he the one we picked to investigate?

Noticed someone mentioning this (the product ) last weekend and did a next-next-finish install on some old hardware.

This is really nice, got me some nice actions running already.

I used to build locally and use git, cgit and Trac, but will probably move everything to forgejo.

Trac

That's a name I haven't heard in a looong time. I used to use a pre-1.0 version before GitHub became popular.

I’m confused on the use of GitHub in schools, can’t they just host their own git?

Hah hahaha hahahahaha

Our school systems are admined by teachers with only half a clue of what they are doing with only a few hours per week as a budget. This isn't meant as an offense, math teachers that like to fiddle with computers in their free time are just not qualified to run the infrastructure for schools

wasn't sure if I was on linux or esperanto community for a minute there

Well at least they're going to usei something decent and not the Apache Allura crap.
