Ghostty, a modern GPU-accelerated terminal emulator developed by Mitchell Hashimoto, is transitioning its active development away from GitHub due to ongoing reliability issues that have disrupted daily workflows.
Hashimoto announced the decision in an emotional post titled “Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub,” stating that the project will gradually eliminate its dependency on GitHub while maintaining the current repository as a read-only mirror. Further details about the new hosting platform will be provided in the coming months, as discussions continue with both commercial and open-source providers.
I’ve been pondering moving off GitHub to forgejo or tangled for a while now.
GitHub has been less than useful the last month or so, and unless you’re a bootlicker, no reason to stick around and watch Microsoft enshittify it while everyone else makes excuses for its poor uptime and stability. I am beyond tired of people saying they are “experiencing scaling problems” as an excuse, as if Microsoft isn’t one of the largest companies on the planet with endless resources and talent. Boo hoo, go wipe your tears with your piles of cash Microslop.
Yes, go! In my case, self hosting with Forgejo, although I am in a bunch of instances of Gitea and Gitlab too. Happy with Forgejo tho! If you want the not selfhosted version there is Codeberg too.
Forgejo still doesn’t have federation. Seems development is slow.
