Moving Away from GitHub

I’m moving my projects from GitHub to Codeberg.

Why?

GitHub is not a good home for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Here are some of the reasons why:

  • Owned by Microsoft – a company with a long history of exploiting, undermining, and monetizing open source communities.
  • Proprietary and Closed Source – GitHub itself is not FOSS. Hosting FOSS on a closed, centralized, and opaque platform contradicts the very values of software freedom.
  • AI that exploits code – GitHub Copilot and other Microsoft AI tools are trained on publicly available repositories without consent. This essentially turns community contributions into raw material for commercial products.
  • Unclear user rights – Contributors have little to no control over how their code is used once uploaded. User data and code can be exploited in ways you never agreed to.
  • Centralization risks – Concentrating so much of the world’s open source projects in one corporate-controlled place is dangerous for the resilience of the ecosystem.

Alternatives

I’ve chosen to move my code to Codeberg, a community-driven, non-profit platform based on Forgejo, which is itself FOSS. Codeberg aligns better with the principles of openness, transparency, and user freedom.
