So MICROS~1 bought Github and everybody's freaking out right now trying to re-host their projects on someone else's service. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STORE YOUR DATA IN THE CLOWN. The Clown is just someone else's computer and they can and will fuck you. If it's not on your computer, it's not under your control. Why do you all keep doing this to yourselves?? Stop hitting yourself. ...
Git is distributed by design, so I lean into that. I self-host, and use codeberg, and still collaborate with people who won’t leave github. Forgejo has built in pull or push mirrors that make it very easy, but you can also set multiple remotes in your local git repo.
Well, sure. scp -rsource target works with git too. And pretty much everything if you have/want filesystem as your access point.
Appreciate learning about fossil, but switching all my stuff to a different VCS entirely is overkill, and I can’t see it doing anything easier, simpler or better than git. Especially if I want to make it easy for others to depend on my stuff.

Yeah migrating Git is as easy as it gets in my opinion :) Add remote, push, tada.
Migrating Fossil:
scp my-repo.fossil ssh://new/repos/- tadaWell, sure.
