minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•2 months agoDid you not do code reviews? It’s the main thing I would miss. Being able to comment in-line, and manage iterations, is very valuable to me.
minus-squaremesalinkfedilinkEnglish6•2 months agoWe did. You bring down the branch and then discuss. We used jetbrains and it had a function like that. But it was a while back.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoGerrit still exists for that. Whether it’s currently best, idk.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoTheir comment was about not having any hosted service though.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoWhat does that even mean? If it’s a service, it’s a program running on some computer somewhere. Is that not hosting?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-22 months agoThey were talking about hosting the git repository via sftp - so bare file transfer - a bare repository. And how that was enough for them. While that is also hosted, and hosted through a service, it’s only a file transfer service and hosting. That means specifically without a hosted service like a forge or gerrit. Which is why I was interested in how they handle stuff that is usually done through such forges and services / hosted software.

Gerrit is a hosted service, no?
You can self host it.
