Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft.

Ding ding ding ding ding!
Like, just BRAND NEW, leaning baby programmer! Nope, not that.
Just a guy who is starting to learn and probably going to abandon learning but is going to try anyway and is trying not to fuck up in the beginning!
If you want to use VSCode without the Microsoft bits, they actually provide that officially. VSCodium is VSCode with all the Microsoft-specific bits stripped out (or rather, not added in in the first place, at compile time). It's all open source too so you can either verify yourself or have a knowledgeable friend do an audit on your behalf.
I use VSCode at work a lot and enjoy it quite a bit. A good alternative would be to use Kate/Kwrite with all of the coding plugins and the linter plugins turned on, the experience is pretty close to VSCode/ium without store extensions.

So wait.
GitHub is Microsoft?
I’m also very new to doing any type of programming, and also don’t remember things from last week lol. I use Kate, it’s from KDE which is from the Linux world but works on windows! They have some other good programs that also work on windows (and Mac too I think!) if you’re trying to extract yourself from there. I don’t know python very well so don’t know if Kate is the best choice compared to PyCharm for your use case, but might be a good allrounder.

Might check out Zed. Relatively new editor from the folks behind Atom and treesitter. Extremely fast with an excellent interface and vim mode. The second best vim mode behind Neovim.

Going by their Mastodon account, seems they were erroneously detected as "from a US-sanctioned region" and it took too long for said error to be resolved, so they just made the switch.

What's wrong w/ actions? Is there something else you prefer?
I think they're quite powerful. There are a variety of triggers, runners are fairly easy to configure (easy to scale up), and the syntax is pretty straightforward. It seems to work pretty well.
I prefer Gitlab CICD but there are many. Actions had a lot of potential. Then Microsoft bought GitHub and just slapped the Actions label on their CI. If you pull off the mask, it is just Azure devops.

I always kept telling Free-software & OpenSource projects to move to GitLab, Codeberg or SourceHut
You cannot fight capitalists on a capitalists platform.
& if you want something that's even more independent try Fossil

Shit. I live in Denmark. How do you download a whole github repository, commits, issues and all?
look at git's --mirror
-
is forgejo the same thing as codeberg? it looks similar.. just curious
Let me give you a rather long explanation for fun.
CodeBerg ≈ GitHub
Now imagine if Github allowed you to self-host your own Github instance;
That's ForgeJo -
Github was bought in 2018. For all we know, OP could have been 10 at the time
OP said they were 63 and only now getting into programming. I can understand not knowing these things tbh.

Who could have ever anticipated Git hub going to shoot after Microsoft bought it
you can shit and fuck and cock and ass. it's the internet

Nice!
I actually recently set up my own Forgejo instance, and it's remarkably similar to GitHub, to the point where they share Github's "actions" code.
Congrats! More hosting diversity is a good thing.
how does this differ from codeberg

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?
Not according to that thread - it looks like they don't yet know what caused it:
https://mastodon.social/@organicmaps/114178916120483761
No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.
GAFAM is all one hydra.

No, it they didn't change anything add new git remote to the new address

I've been testing Zed for the last couple weeks for some Vue / Nuxt projects. It works great for that and seems very stable so far, but is also developed by a for-profit. Curious to see how the Zedless project works out.

Codeberg is a non-profit that has no fees, but accepts donations. They only allow FOSS projects.

Can I suggest vim or emacs?

Good question. Commits are easy - they are part of git core functionalities so are included in every copy of the repository (for example developers' local copies) but github specific contents like comments, issues, PRs..?
-

You can make git clone and get all the code and commits.
Issues are a GitHub feature and they cannot be downloaded by a simple git command
