Forges are great for OpenSource software but for closed source/commercial groups in an agentic world I think (ultimately) all you'll need is a git remote with:
- access control (gitolite or similar) + key management (small webapp or api)
- branch protections, there's no prior art that I am aware of but hooks can be used for this)
- CI can be done by hooks as well, probably dispatching into a queue.
You don't really need PRs, agents can review the branch, humans review evidence. You probably don't need Wiki's or GH Pages or Discussions.
You might use tickets, but they make cross repo planning and tracking difficult.
Hell, you probably don't need Confluence or Jira since docs and tickets should be in the repo itself (self contained state for agents). I am working on tooling for this... (an experiment!)
Outages are one thing, but for the past couple of weeks even when everything is green, about 30% of pushes/pulls just outright fail.
I've been relatively tolerant of the outages, but this is constant and really intolerable, to the point I'm actively migrating projects into our internal company GitLab.
I completely lost my carefully drafted PR message. Aaargh. Now I'll always back it up as a copy in the future. So bloody annoying, at least they should store the draft in local storage somehow in my browser.
At this point, we can start modeling their internal systems. GitHub itself is up, their loadbalancers are still forwarding web requests, but the key checking service is having a bad day.

I really hope they can sort their shit out.

Ah, must be a day ending in Y

Github still not working and causing delays.
Same here. Glad it's not me, and my team in Spain.
Works here (using the desktop app), Asia area
Fetches and clones failing. EU.
Maybe they should ban AI.
same here, i get
` ! [remote rejected] main -> main (Internal Server Error)`
Works here.
