Just googled to see if there was an activitypub git host yet and came across this claiming gitlab are working on it at the moment and that it’s available as an experimental feature
Seems odd to me that people aren’t talking about this more here, has anyone tried it and if so is it any good?

There’s also Forgejo but federation is very WIP. https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
What is the benefit of putting a git repo site on activity pub? It’s not like the underlying git repos are shared that way. I don’t get why this would be a lift for hosted repositories. I’m certainly not storing my code on Jim’s basement server.io
If I’m on one instance, I can send you a pull request, even if you’re on another instance. Then you can review it, and we can go back and forth. I can also comment on, create issues on, clone, star, watch, etc, repos that aren’t on my instance.
Currently I have to make an account on everyone’s personal gitlab (or gitea, or forgejo, etc) instance in order to make an issue or PR of their project. Would be nice if I could just use one account for it.
I wish we could just signed diffs and stop with the whole “make an account literally everywhere” mentality.
the email-list only folks are like 3/4s right; federation isn’t a solution to bring decentralization to an already decentralized system, it’s to just stop thinking that every saas has to “own” your stuff, and keep it behind auth and secrets and a big heavy database.
