Git is decentralized itself... You don't even need forgejo to host your changes

The issue tracker is usually the concern

Gitea is where Forgejo forked from.

FYI Forgejo supports mastodon login

That's interesting. Did not even know, Mastodon supported doing something like this...

There is still a difference: There is no profile in the end. I might create 2 bug reports, bit they won't be linked to each other.

There is no command git issue create [hostname] [title] [description] and if there was such a command, it'd require authentication on the specific instance to prevent spam.

You still need to create an account on each Forgejo instance to report a bug there...

And even, if you commit code or make a pull request... Git might be decentralized (you can develop with your friend independently from each other and merge it), but try to commit code to a GitHub project, GitLab instance or Forgejo instance without having an account there to authenticate yourself... It won't work.

If you push a secret key you should definitely generate a new one. Way to many bots out there that scan new commits for exactly that reason

Obviously you go and change the key instead?

I did not mean decentralized hosting of the projects (e.g. your project will be on all instances).

I meant decentralized account usage (e.g. you can use your example.com forgejo account to create an issue on otherexample.org)... Just like Lemmy... I could use my reddthat.com lemmy account to create a post on your instance lemmy.world without having to register there.

You are correct in principle, but Lemmy isn't on a blockchain. It's much less permanent.

that's already a concern. what if someone just cloned your repo? there's also plenty of people that mirror public repos to their personal forgejo server. forgejo makes it very easy.

the only solution to mitigate such a mistake is to
1) invalidate the token
2) remove the commit

In that order.

You can make commits on your system without pushing them to the remote server, and that’s the default behavior.
