+<p>2022-11-14</p>
+<p>It has taken a little bit longer than I anticipated, but I have finally started to port over all my personal open-source projects to <a href="https://sourcehut.org">sourcehut.org</a>. I&#8217;ll get into the <em>why</em> and <em>how</em> momentarily, but first let&#8217;s take a look at all the impacted projects:</p>

+</ul>
+<p><em>Some others are being worked on but have less &#8220;popularity&#8221;</em></p>
+<h2 id="why">Why?</h2>
+<p>GitHub has landed itself in some hot water with their <a href="https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/">recent lawsuit(s) surrounding their Copilot feature</a>. I was already on the fence about keeping GitHub as my main &#8220;code forge&#8221; after they were scooped up by Microsoft, who then killed off Atom and then started collecting telemetry data through VSCode. This seemed like a good excuse as any to finally leave the platform. The <em>straw</em>, if you will.</p>
+<p><em>&#62;&#62; Sourcehut has entered the chat &#60;&#60;</em></p>
+<p>We, as designers and developers, shouldn&#8217;t be supporting crap like this. I would much rather put my money where my mouth is and directly support a truly transparent alternative[^1]. Although I might only be paying for the <strong>Typical Hacker</strong> tier on <a href="https://sourcehut.org/pricing/">sourcehut</a>, I like to think that every little bit helps the platform. Even if you choose a different code forge, please consider donating to support independent alternatives!</p>
+<h2 id="git-email-jump-into-the-deep-end">Git Email? Jump into the Deep End</h2>
+<p>One aspect of sourcehut that initially scared me off was the lack of a proper &#8220;PR-flow&#8221;, web UI-based system[^2]. Instead, reporting bugs, creating tickets, and submitting PATCHES are generally done through regular, plain-text email.</p>
+<p>In the end, I&#8217;m glad I stuck it out. I&#8217;m still pretty slow with this new workflow (so please be patient with me if you submit a patch on a project!) but it actually seems cleaner. The phrase &#8220;streamlined&#8221; is what comes to mind.</p>
+<p>And really, if you think about it, at one point in time GitHub&#8217;s PR system would have been &#8220;new&#8221; for most users. Everything takes time to learn. This workflow is no different.</p>
+<p>Drew (creator of sourcehut) actually put together an extremely helpful guide on getting <a href="https://git-send-email.io/">setup with git send-email</a>. I still reference back to this if&#47;when I need to get up-and-running on a new machine. I highly recommend checking it out.</p>
+<h2 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping Up</h2>
+<p>That&#8217;s it really. I&#8217;m still in the process of moving over some projects, archiving original GitHub repos and becoming more adapted to the whole sourcehut &#8220;workflow&#8221;. I&#8217;m enjoying it and it feels good to pay for something that is not only useful but open source at its core.</p>
+<p>Will I be deleting my GitHub profile outright? Maybe. I&#8217;m not sure. For now the first step is removing any dependence I once had on that platform. Baby steps.</p>
+<p>For those interested, my sourcehut public profile is: <a href="https://sr.ht/~bt/">https:&#47;&#47;sr.ht&#47;~bt&#47;</a>. Maybe I&#8217;ll see you on the other side ;)</p>
