Last weekend Luon has launched [Gitea](https://gitea.io) as our service for
|
|
hosting Git repositories at [git.luon.net](https://git.luon.net). Each Luon
|
|
user has automatically access to this service and will be able to set up
|
|
private *and* public Git repositories under their account as well as set up
|
|
organisations to keep some repositories separate or collaborate more easily
|
|
with others without giving access to your personal stuff. (An example
|
|
organisation is [Luon](https://git.luon.net/luon) which hosts the
|
|
(archived/old) original repositories hosted on git.luon.net.)
|
|
|
|
This Gitea service replaces the old Gitolite setup on Cube which was cumbersome
|
|
to use because it had no web frontend, no easy way to do thing as pull requests
|
|
as well as configure the SSH keys you are identifying yourself with. All
|
|
repositories have been migrated from Gitolite to Gitea.
|
|
|
|
Gitea was chosen because it is very easy to set up and use while it still
|
|
supports [most of the features](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/) of the
|
|
bigger competitors, such as [Github](https://github.com) and
|
|
[GitLab](https://gitlab.com), support. Note however that it might be worth
|
|
while to also push your repository to your account on either of these popular
|
|
services to make your project more discoverable. Given the distributed nature
|
|
of Git it is easy to set up another remote for these account or to push to two
|
|
services simultaneously.
