Nice, seems like it was a good decisions. Do you miss anything from the Xilinx world?

I am very much pro open-source, but these are highly specialized tools for a very niche market so it is atleast somewhat understandable. Unfortunately we are not blessed with open source toolchains like software developers even though there are some steps in that direction. Because it is such a niche market, it is like the software space from 20-30 years ago. Proprietary tools and compilers were pretty common back then and for some microcontroller architectures outside of ARM and RISCV they still are I think.

What do you mean by this kind of shit? I am in the FPGA space for quite some time now but I don’t think something like this happened before. When did you leave and what are you using now? I agree with you on the support. If there isn’t an (unpaid) member in the community forum or on some other platform you are pretty much fucked. I never used another vendor, so I can’t say if it is different there though.

You are right that Codeberg allows private repos. As I said, this was a couple of years ago. Not sure if it was different back then. I just remember Gitlab being less restrictive about their private repo policy and since I wasn’t really sure about my requirements I chose Gitlab over Codeberg. Yes, their whole mission is to support FOSS and private repos contradict that and just creates a burden for hosting on their side, so it is totally understandable.

I am not really the target of your question, because I am not a developer of something in particular. I mainly use git to backup and track my Linux and Docker config. There are a few unfinished side-projects as well, but nothing really interesting. I personally chose Gitlab over Codeberg mainly because of the ability to create private repos. The repos don’t contain any private info but I don’t saw any real benefit for the general public either. However, this decision was a couple of years ago.

As of late, I want to use git also for other stuff that potentially contains data I am not willing to share. Therefore I want to setup my personal Forgejo instance. I like the idea of Codeberg. My goal is to host everything I really want to keep private on my personal instance and move everything else to Codeberg.
