Please, please set up a forge. I don't care if it's Git, I don't care if it's codeberg, Gitlab, or GitHub. I just want to not use email if I don't have to.

      Oh, interesting, TIL. I never heard this before except in brand names like SourceForge. I only knew them as repository hosting services.

        More context if anyone is interested

        > in FOSS development communities and since the inception of the first SourceForge fork in 2001, the term forge is still commonly used to designate online collaborative software platforms

          In fairness to the person asking the question, I've seen the term "forge" used a lot more in the previous six months than in the previous decade or two. Not sure what that's about.
