ForgeFriends (aka FedeProxy) is a federated free open git for software development, using the Fediverse's ActivityPub protocol. You can follow the project at:
The project website is at https://forgefriends.org and there's more details about how it works at https://forgefriends.org/blog/2021/11/22/what-is-forgefriends

GREAT! Finding out this toot is making me seriously think about finally packing up my stuff in #GitHub, and switching to a #Gitea instance, self-hosted via #Yunohost.
I know it is a lot to ask, but is there an ETA for the implementation of full federation?

Aral's analogy of a bridge between the "where-do-I-click" billions of muggles and the FOSS community, for people to walk across, is very useful. I still have a github account and use my icon+profile to state why the 60M (not 10^9s) should leave github.
Declarations of purity are fine, but concrete work (or cash) contributions to https://fedeproxy.eu and in creating new community git repository servers will help make "our island" a more effective alternative.

This #Fedeproxy is something we may need to look into! Anything that makes life easier for adhoc development is good.
