@aescling @akjcv@types.pl cgit just includes git as a subrepo and statically links as far as i can tell

@aescling @akjcv@types.pl not too worried about that; the only “library” needed in this case is git

@akjcv@types.pl might just need to do my own implementation from scratch

@akjcv@types.pl i jotted down a list of improvements i would make and wow i really need to learn C now because it is lengthy

@akjcv@types.pl call it clit

@akjcv@types.pl i still need to learn C but maybe once i do i should fork cgit lmao

@akjcv@types.pl (worth noting i suppose that i think gitweb does do much better than cgit in terms of its UI and i mostly prefer that one; it's just a perl script tho lmao so)

@akjcv@types.pl after using it for a year i think i’ve come around on having the default view be a shortlog and a list of tags, even though i never use branches, because i find myself referencing commits other than HEAD as often as i find myself referencing HEAD. i actually think that the github-style display has encouraged people to think of repositories as buckets of files rather than histories of changes, which has encouraged worse commit messages and practices and kind of obviated the utility of using git at all over just sticking everything in dropbox.

agreed on the other points, though. i’ve been meaning to restyle my gitweb because i think the default styling is terrible, but i haven’t found the time. i think better CSS could really improve things, and i've done a bit of JS to hack things like markdown rendering on after-the-fact.

@akjcv@types.pl curious what your specific criticisms are if you care to elaborate?

@akjcv@types.pl there is an rgit it's just only at v0.1.4 https://github.com/w4/rgit

@akjcv@types.pl yeah i mean if you don't care about having a web frontend, issues, or pull requests not sure why you would bother

i personally find having a web frontend is nice and do appreciate strangers being able to view and clone my code, but don't believe in the public commons open source collaboration ideology that more fully-featured forges support

@aescling @wallhackio fucking shadowheart is his real job the rest is just what he does to get paid

@akjcv@types.pl https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols

@akjcv@types.pl just having a bunch of bare git dirs on a server and dropping a gitweb or a cgit on top of it is extremely easy if you don't need any of the additional features

@akjcv@types.pl do you use the issues and pull request functionality?

@aescling people like to associate sylveon with femininity but i think sylveon is one of the least womanly eeveelutions; sylveon looks like the kind of dude who gets all prettied up in bows and ribbons but has never for one second walked in the shoes of an actual woman

which makes it a terrible trans icon imo since trans women generally do walk the walk of womanhood even when they do NOT look the part

it's like a cis zoomer "trans rights" streamers take on transfemininity

@aescling i’m just not into femboys

@aescling call me capsakid

@monorail @aescling oh yeah agreed

@aescling i think sylveon is the worst design
