          Here are some things you can do if you want to be super cool like me:

          • take a multivitamin every day
          • cook for the people you love
          • learn to skate backwards

        I’m legit so excited about this! I cannot WAIT to log-in to any gitea instance using my tildegit credentials ^_^

        This might mean I don’t have to like, uh, install cgit on my server ^_^

          I can relate. I’ve been quite excited lately by codeforge mirroring; codeberg, tildegit, etc. But all that does is bring us back to the web 1.0 days of websites that were thin veneers for large lists of ftp mirrors. Federation would augment that read-only interface with writes, the ability to contribute back.

            100%, it would bring gitea/gogs/etc. on-par with github, and honestly i’d quit using it /at all/ for anything but forks.

            I wonder how integrated it will be.. The idea of opening and closing issues, commenting on pull requests, etc from mastodon is really interesting to me.

              oh shit i didn’t even think about that.

              of course, other activitypub things aren’t all super-integrated with say, mastodon, which is too bad imo. or maybe i’m just kinda dumb about it….

                I like this.

                It makes me very curious about what the minimal wiki setup might be for this. Something with a talk page.

                  I bodged together a Dokuwiki for it in about half an hour from an empty install I’ve had sitting on my server for ages by adding a plugin which adds a talk page to everything. Not that I actually have a game to actually play though!

                      git is, especially if you use git send-mail. but 99% of git users don’t know about git send-email or how to use it: they use pull requests on a web front-end like github or gitea.

                      git forges are not, and that’s what we’re talking about here. I’m quasi active on 3 different gitea instances. It would be amazing to be able to log issues and submit pull requests across gitea instances without having to create a new account for each instance.

                        excellent stuff, had never considered the parallel compiling opportunities of concatenative languages.

                        and the swim lane diagrams are the best visual description of forth/postfix programming i’ve ever seen. really get to see the need/effects for all the little stack manipulation words in a new, clear way.

                            First, there’s no official client. The fact that it’s so easy to implement a client means there’s a Cambrian explosion going on, and the filtering die-back has not yet occurred. This might change in the medium future.

                            as opposed to what official client for the web?

                                  no. I mean a real technical specification, not a first-draft quality half-baked pseudo-specification that calls itself feature complete.

                                      I feel like these are all good principles, and ones I try to follow for the most part. I zealously gc --amend and gc --fixup and git rebase -i HEAD~5.

                                      i wish the author had gotten more into how they use git bisect because I hear git wizards praise it, but I’ve never really used it.

                                      I definitely believe in one branch per idea. In creative writing, I’m likely to spin off a branch as a place holder as quickly as I have ideas. Branches often take the place of a ‘drafts’ folder.
