My account was flagged because I forked and contributed to the project Eaglercraft, and that means my account is basically useless. I have had enough of Microsoft's exploitation of power and want to switch to another alternative. I tried GitLab, but I need to signup with a credit card and I am not comfortable giving my personal info out. I tried Gitea and the experience is great, but I am limited to 5 repos. I tried Source Forge, but I cannot verify my phone number when creating a repo. The prompt just returns an API error. What other alternative should I try?

I was in need of using different signing keys (but same mail address) and had a little adventure in the advanced Git documentation I'd like to share. ______________ In your `~/.config/git/config`` remove the [user] section and add this instead: ``` [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://your-remote-url/**"] path = ~/.config/git/user_a ``` And in `~/.config/git/user_a` use this: ``` [user] email = username@example.com name = User Name signingkey = the_16_digit_GPG_key_ID ``` Repeat as often as you need. Just add another `includeIf` section for each of your remote hosts. You can also keep a “stub” user section in your `~/.config/git/config` if you always use the same user name and mail address but want to use different keys. ``` [user] email = dirk@0x7be.de name = Dirk ``` In your `includeIf`’d files simply set the signingkey: ``` [user] signingkey = the_16_digit_GPG_key_ID ``` Git automatically combines the two as needed. A minimal working example: File `~/.config/.git/config`: ``` [user] email = username@example.com name = User Name [commit] gpgsign = true [tag] gpgsign = true [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://hostname_A/**"] path = ~/.config/git/config-A [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://hostname_B/**"] path = ~/.config/git/config-B ``` File `~/.config/git/config-A`: ``` [user] signingkey = 16_digit_key_id_used_for_a ``` File `~/.config/git/config-B`: ``` [user] signingkey = 16_digit_key_id_used_for_b ``` Now when you push commits or tags to `hostname_A` or `hostname_B` the correct key is used to sign those (in the example, using same name and mail address) without having to manually edit this for all your local repositories.

`git-worktree` is a beautiful thing.

Apparently it's possible to make patches to code with email, which is stated in `GIT-AM(1)`; but I don't know what the definition of an `<Maildir>` or `<mbox>` is. Update: I think `<Maildir>` refers to a directory of patch files (typically generated with `git format-patch`); `<mbox>` refers to a patch file (generated with `git format-patch`).

And if I sign them after, with `git commit --amend -S`, will that cause problems for later pulls or pushes with subtree?

Yes, I giggled when I found it

Between Github, GitLab, Gitea, Sourcehut and more, what is the source forge that you currently use and why?
