minus-square@[email protected]cakelinkfedilink1•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.

You can self host it.
