Misleading title.
If my thing was public in the past, and I took it private, the old public code is still public.That’s… How the Internet works anyway.
Edit: See Eager Eagle’s better explanation below.
TL;DR - be careful who you allow to fork your private repos. And if you need to take a public repo, which has forks, private, consider archiving the repo and doing all the new work in a new repo. Which is arguably the reasonable thing to do anyway.
Still a misleading title. This isn’t a way to break into all or even most of your private repositories.
Misleading title.
The title literally spells out the concern, which is that code that is in a private or deleted repository is, in some circumstances, visible publicly.
What title would you propose?
If my thing was public in the past, and I took it private, the old public code is still public.
The “Accessing Private Repo Data” section covers a situation where code that has always been private becomes publicly visible.
Just this week I migrated all my repos from github to Gitlab. And only because I can’t host my own gits just yet, but will do it soon enough.
I tried but they demanded a phone number and credit card for “verification” and fuck that.
Also endless verification of you have resistfingerprinting on.
Thats probably what did it. Guess when given the options of let us track you or provide your real identity for us to track you. The option of fucking off is best.
Im using a raspberry pi with a binary installation of Forgejo. Pretty easy to set up if you are comfortable with the terminal.
I’ve been migrating all my services hosted in UnRaid to ProxMox these last days, but Forgejo is absolutely on my list of new services to selfhosted. Thanks for the tip bud.
