I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but there absolutely _needs_ to be a federated version of GitHub/GitLab.Let me host my projects' critical infrastructure (issue tracker, PRs, private repos etc) on my own servers, while also being able to interact and socialize with the rest of the open source world.I'll keep saying this until someone builds it - I would do it myself if I had enough time on my hands right now.

@fribbledom Isn’t Git, being decentralized, kind of federated by default? There’s no pretty UI to it, but you could push your changes to your own private server, and push them to a public remote server for PRs, comments, etc. PRs that go in publicly can be pulled into your private server. Given every working copy has the full history, it can be moved anywhere.

@fribbledom GitLab IS self-hosted and open-source. It's not federated in the sense that you can link accounts across GitLab instances, but self-hosted is still definitely a thing.

@deskitty Sure, and I'm running my own gitea and GitLab instances. But the federated issues and PRs are the criticial point I try to make.

@fribbledom @deskitty if we could log in to one Gittea/GitLab instance from another that would probably solve a lot of the problems I have had with there being decentralised servers.

@fribbledom @deskitty they both support oAuth, really it should be "relatively easy to achieve" https://xkcd.com/1425/

@fribbledom Building a federated GitHub sounds like something @Are0h might be into, or might know people who would be.

@mrhmouse @fribbledom well, git already 'federates', but fossil also contains bug tracking and a wiki

@lain @mrhmouse @fribbledom git already has issue tracking, it's called email.

@jorty @lain @mrhmouse @fribbledom correct, everything after is called "software engineering"
