<h1>Forge Workflows</h1>
<p>I generally use <a href="https://git.runxiyu.org/">my own Git server</a> for my projects. I also use my <a href="https://sr.ht/~runxiyu">sr.ht account</a> for <a href="https://todo.sr.ht/~runxiyu">issue tracking</a> and <a href="https://lists.sr.ht/~runxiyu">mailing lists</a>, and <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~runxiyu">their Git</a> for some projects too.</p>
<p>Regardless of whether I'm using my own infrastructure with plain Cgit and plain mailing lists (except that my mailing list manager is slightly broken for now), or the slightly better-integrated environment sourcehut provides, a contributor who wishes to submit some of their commits may simply do the following with <a href="https://git-send-email.io">git-send-email</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li>Configure git-send-email (only once!)</li>
<li>Clone the repository to a local directory</li>
<li>Make some changes and commit</li>
<li><code>git send-email HEAD^ --to='~runxiyu/public-inbox@lists.sr.ht'</code> or something similar</li>
</ol>
<p>This is much easier, imo, than the pull-request workflow popularized by GitHub (which is proprietary by the way) and similar forges:</p>
<ol>
<li>Register an account on the forge (once per forge)</li>
<li>Click “fork” on the repo's Web interface</li>
<li>Clone the fork to a local directory</li>
<li>Make some changes and commit</li>
<li>Push</li>
<li>Go back to the Web interface to create a PR (which often involves clicking at least three buttons)</li>
<li>Delete your redundent fork once the PR is merged and your repo is not really useful anymore</li>
</ol>
<p>Why do certain people hate on sourcehut? Really convenient workflow IMO.</p>
