Any reason I'd use this instead of Sourcehut [1] ?

Competition is not a bad thing, but I'd definitely recommend that people check out Sourcehut.

Sourcehut ticks all of the boxes for a well-run project: Open Source, good engineering, sensible financial plan, excellent maintainer who works well with others, and constant, sustainable progress.

Sourcehut is also accumulating lot of support for niche things that other providers don't support at all: e.g. it is a Mercurial host as well as a Git host, and the CI supports BSD OSes.

I'm not familiar with sourcehut but thank you for sharing. I'd say if you're using a git host you're already happy with you should keep using it for sure.

You seriously want to play with sourcehut.

It has its own very hacker-oriented aesthetic and tries to keep the various components it provides separated so for things that are "close enough" you might be able to bootstrap off their tools.

Also, the concept of a CI system where a failed build sticks around for a while and lets you ssh in to figure out what went wrong is -way- cool.

Thank you for the extra push. I definitely will
