From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Another "Differences in Linux" question :)

I often wonder, what exactly is the difference between this services?

I understand, that:

github.com is a company, where as gitlab and forgejo are (softwares)?
They all "manage/wrap/interface with" git?

Questions:

what software does github.com use?
whats the difference between them (pros/cons)?
what about self-hosting? Possibilities/Preferences?

As always, thanks beforehand :)

It is a fool’s errand to try to chase Microsoft like this—folks will demand compatibility with all their new Copilot-enhanced CI. Present something better please—this would entice users to leave.

tbh do we even have a standard for an open CI/CD specification format?

I don’t think so, but of any project they are in a position to actually propose it, implement it, & have folks actually use it & provide feedback
