<h1>FSFE provides Git hosting for its supporters</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p newsteaser="yes">Sharing one's knowledge is a core principle in the Free Software
|
||
society, collaboration is another. From today, the FSFE provides its <a
|
||
href="/join?ref-git">supporters</a> and registered <a href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/KnowHow/FSFELife/VolunteerAccountCreation">volunteers</a> a
|
||
platform to create and manage Git repositories with a comfortable user
|
||
interface: <a href="https://git.fsfe.org">git.fsfe.org</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Git is not only a tool to store files but the most popular version
|
||
control system, similar to SVN. While Git is a command line server and
|
||
client, there are several graphical implementations. The FSFE is using <a
|
||
href="https://gitea.io">Gitea</a> as a web interface.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Features</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>With <a href="https://git.fsfe.org">git.fsfe.org</a>, the FSFE allows
|
||
its supporters to share and collaborate on a platform while fully
|
||
respecting their freedoms. Using the graphical web interface, people
|
||
can open issue reports for bugs or feature requests. This way, users
|
||
are able to:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>host code they are using for their FSFE activities (and of course
|
||
other purposes)</li>
|
||
<li>share minutes and other documents of FSFE group meetings</li>
|
||
<li>collaborate on flyers, presentations or business cards</li>
|
||
<li>leave feedback on and help improving existing software by other
|
||
users of git.fsfe.org</li>
|
||
<li>...and many more!</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>The FSFE also strives to migrate as much code and relevant files as
|
||
possible to this new platform, for example future website developments,
|
||
promotion material, and helpful scripts for the organisation's
|
||
day-to-day work.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>About Gitea</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Gitea is a performant and user-friendly Git service that is
|
||
published under a Free Software license. Unlike other services there is
|
||
no proprietary enterprise version ("open-core"), but has a strong focus
|
||
on community development, and already contains almost all features
|
||
people know from other Git services without any non-free dependencies.
|
||
There are already efforts taking place to interconnect Gitea
|
||
installations to enable federation of Git repositories.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>We would like to welcome you to log in with your FSFE Fellowship
|
||
credentials, test and use the service, and <a href="/contact">leave
|
||
some feedback</a>. You can also push this new service by improving
|
||
and adding usage guides for Git beginners on our <a
|
||
href="https://wiki.fsfe.org/TechDocs/Git">dedicated wiki pages</a> – help us
|
||
helping! Also, consider contributing to the Gitea project.</p>
