- [solved] best way to grant access to a single repository?
hello! For University I need to use a remote machine with a very very VERY weak password I cannot change, and I have to use that machine to edit some code with a few other students of my team. All the code should then be pushed to a repo of my personal github. I'd like to be able to grant access to only that repo, so that if someone guesses the password it cannot touch my other stuffs. What options do I have?
[SOLVED] EDIT: as suggested by @elliot_crane@lemmy.world I created a github fine grained access token setting its only permission as read/write only that repo. Then I cloned the repo on the remote machine and set the url to include the token:
bash git remote set-url origin https://myusername:MYTOKEN@github.com/myusername/myrepo.git
I then set the user and email:
bash git config user.name myusername git config user.email my@email.com
and voilà! I can now simply push without any password requested! And in case someone gained access to the token (that is stored in plain text inside the .git folder) it would only grant access to that specific repo, limiting the damages
- What exactly is Codeberg's relation to Forgejo?
As far as I understand it, Forgejo is a soft-fork of Gitea, and, as far as I am aware, Gitea includes both the backend and frontend. But then I came across Codeberg, which appears to state: > Self-Hosting Forgejo, the software that powers Codeberg.
This makes it sound like Forgejo is the backend, and Codeberg is the frontend, but I'm not 100% sure. If so, did Forgejo separate Gitea's UI, and just soft-fork the backend?
- Removing "Releases" and "Packages" section from GitHub repository's page
Can you not remove "Releases" and "Packages" section from your repository in GitHub?
There is a gear icon on the repository page "Edit repository details" and it seemingly allows you to remove those sections from the page but they don't do anything. Is it just me / is this limited with a free account or just a bug?
Couldn't find anything about this by googling. Any answers much appreciated!
- [repost] Best GitHub Alternative?
My account was flagged because I forked and contributed to the project Eaglercraft, and that means my account is basically useless. I have had enough of Microsoft's exploitation of power and want to switch to another alternative.
I tried GitLab, but I need to signup with a credit card and I am not comfortable giving my personal info out. I tried Gitea and the experience is great, but I am limited to 5 repos. I tried Source Forge, but I cannot verify my phone number when creating a repo. The prompt just returns an API error.
What other alternative should I try?

- How to maintain a fork of an evolving project while local changes are minimal and mostly related to making project work in personal platform
So I have this exact need:
There is an upstream project doing their own thing over git and I want to build container images locally and commit them to my image repository all while following the same version system as upstream.
To be more precise (perhaps abstract) about my need, what is the best way to apply the same patch when upstream release a new version.
Any input and best practices or lessons learned are welcome.

- Github hiding repo URLs
I hate github with a passion. I have a slightly different name for it that I won't use here because I'm a polite c**t.
They've sunk to a new low now though, in not displaying the URLs for git repos. Not if I allow their (non-free) Javascript to run, and certainly not if I don't. Maybe I'm not using an "approved" browser.
Well at least MS' reason for buying github are clear now - if people can't get at the code then open-source dies.

- Why Git has changed the world and will change it further
This photo is from Where Good Ideas Come From: A Natural History of Innovation. In it, there's a chapter dedicated to studying 'fluid networks'. Fluid networks are characterized by (1) high density and (2) malleability. These are the characteristics that make coral reefs, cities, universities, and the internet innovation machines.
Not only do innovations happen incredibly quickly in those fluid networks, but they are evidently much better at innovating than lonesome geniuses or groups who are innovating for profit, which is what the image I mentioned earlier points out.
These characteristics of the fluid networks are also present, I argue, in Git. Perhaps not in all of Git, but in projects dense enough, with enough users. Get enough users in a project, and to the extent that the code maintainers can make the repository malleable, you will get innovation at incredible speed.
Because of this, we can say that Git is indeed a version control system for projects without much activity, but with projects with many users and enough capacity to merge commits, Git is also an innovation machine. This is why Git has not only changed the world, but will continue doing it.
