  • in the end the author states "So, for now: git notes are relegated to obscurity. Forever hamstrung by an obscure and clunky interface and limited adoption—I often forget they’re there.", so after the read, I should forgot about it?

    git does need a 'git bug' to track bugs though, as https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug does, but I prefer to have it built in git directly if possible.

  • Concourse

    Concourse is a container-based continuous thing-doer written in Go.

  • Fossil is super easy to self host, so that what I do (on a MeLE fanless mini PC).

    But there's https://chiselapp.com/ if you want a hosted solution.

    For CI I self host an instance of https://concourse-ci.org/
