By ‘Git instances’ they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

Well that kinda kills collaboration
You can git pull a repo to your machine, make your changes and then use git to submit a patch via email. Its not pretty, but it works. Hopefully federation is built soon and you will be able to submit a pull request from your own forge.
Yeah. If I needed collaboration, I would just whitelist their ips or require everyone involved to use Wireguard vpn, Tailscale or other solutions that allows access without being publically exposed.
That kills collaboration from new people who just, like, discovered your project on some Lemmy thread
They can still collaborate old school way. You can publish static mirrors of git, then take email patches lol
I do the same thing. Anything I put on there isn’t something that I would share with the Internet anyway. If it was a serious project, sure. It’s just nice to have a personal git you can access over a VPN sometimes.
I can’t understand why anyone would waste time writing code that won’t be shared
Dunno, I just don’t believe my NixOS config files are particularly valuable. What is the benefit of sharing garbage code from a novice? I’d rather share things worth sharing, that could be useful to someone else.
Personal projects. Not everything has to be FOSS. My tiny little script to automate my lights turning green and my smart speaker playing All-Star by Smash Mouth at full volume, so I can jork it in peace? That shit doesn’t need to be public.
Home Assistant hs communities to share exactly that
My similar script has a very different goal: at midnight if someone is still up, it dims the family room light and announces on speaker”hey kids, it’s time for bed”
Yes, it needs to be public. The videos too.
Take my money.
For personal use. As someone who has all my non-trivial creations, including dot-files and scripts I replicate between machines, in repos since CVS has a thing it’s a habit. Version control. This stuff is mostly private but not secret, why should I have it public?
Edit after spell check.
For personal use? To automate tasks you do or solve a problem you have? Or people use git repos for notes and the like too
Don’t kink shame, man
