 Okay, so I've had a hard time making this video because I've tried to pinpoint the reason for doing the thing that I'm doing and It's kind of convoluted and I'm you know, this is obviously going to be much more of a rambly video So if you're not into that kind of thing, please forgive me But you're switch off and go watch something else. I have many other videos go watch one of those They're much more organized in this which is definitely going to be saying something because none of my videos are organized and This one is going to be much less. So it's gonna be really weird. So anyways Recently, I've decided that I'm moving all of my stuff from github to get lab now for those Foss advocates out there. You'll know that this is probably a good idea for many reasons github is owned by Microsoft and all this stuff Whatever I would like to say that I'm taking that, you know the the Foss highway and moving to get lab because it's free and open source and it's not owned by a major corporation I'd love to be able to say that but really That's not true. I don't I've never really had a problem with Microsoft owning github It doesn't bother me all that much. I'm not I'm not saying that Microsoft is an angel and has never done anything wrong That's obviously not true. Just look at what they're doing with the default browser situation on Windows 11 Obviously, they have some issues But I don't really care that they own github Github seems to work fine. The problem is really that Github doesn't work well for me and there are reasons why and I'm gonna talk about those but I wish that the Reason I was switching away from github to get lab was because of the Foss reasons But really it's because of the problems. I've been having with authentication on github itself Now for those of you who don't know, I think it was either this August or last August I'll remember it was one of the last two offices August is August I I don't know All I know is it was in this past year or so that github went through and changed the way they do authentication in CLI From being your username and password, which was what you also used to log into the website to an API key or something like that and That was a fine fine thing. It probably made things more secure and Despite the process for moving from your password to an API key being a little bit convoluted I managed to do that on time whenever that deadline happened to be and it was fine And I know that it's not the greatest way to connect to github. You're supposed to use SSH But it was fine. It worked for a long time. It worked and then my computer decided to Crap the bed, you know, I had I've talked about this before But I had problems I ended up having to nuke and pave my grew to install and went back to my beloved Arco and Since that time I've been having problems with get or more specifically. I've been having problems with get lab. So Usually what I've been doing the last few months has just been using get cracking in order to Push all my stuff up to github and that's process still works. I get still fine But I've been trying to use the CLI interface for get a little bit more because I want to become more familiar with it That part hasn't been working for me now. I set up SSH I followed all the documentation for SSH on the github in the github documentation and I got SSH working and Worked fine, but it won't let me connect to github that way It keeps asking for my username and password now if you'll remember from a few minutes ago You'll know that I told you that github supposedly no longer is allow you to connect to Their servers with your username and password. So what the hell is going on? I don't know. It doesn't make any sense I did some googling and It's just a convoluted mess their documentation on github is just kind of utter garbage because it just doesn't make sense half The time there's things all over the place. It just is not great So I was like well, I can either stick with get cracking or I can just use my new username and password which is supposedly really insecure, but What I decided to do was move on to get lab and I did that because of the authentication issues that I was having but also Because the get lab experience that I've experienced for the first time over the last week because we moved Tyler and I moved all of our Linux cache show notes over to get lab from using notion And I found that I really like to get lab like the the dark mode on get lab is I mean this is obviously the first thing I know is because you know, I'm a I'm a ricer. So of course, I'm going to notice the theme first But the the dark mode is actually a dark mode. It's like dark instead of blue I mean, it's like really stupid. I have the same problem with twitter twitter's dark mode is Is blue by default? I mean you can change it but still it's I don't understand like if you use dark mode It's got to be the point of dark mode is to be black But anyways, I mean, that's just the first thing I noticed about get lab, but also the documentation for get lab is actually really good I walked through the ssh instructions got it up and running managed to push all the show notes and stuff to Get lab in the first go. It was like really simple. It was really easy. There was no convoluted steps it just worked and That kind of won me over so last night when I was having problems Again pushing stuff from my computer up to github. I was like, you know, screw this. I'm done with github So I moved all of my Stuff that has normally been on github up to a get lab repository So really I am now on a free and open source platform away from github, which I can you know be proud of But also I can be away from the mess that github has become in terms of authentication because I'm I'm sure That whatever's happening with the ssh authentication key slash username and password thing is just a me problem I'm sure I'm doing something wrong But the documentation isn't helping me solve the problem. So yeah, I'm done with github And really I had no other topic to talk about today So I thought I'd do a little bit of a ramble about why I was doing this But I probably just kind of rambled for 10 minutes and you know Didn't say all that much. So I'm if if you have forked or Have been following any of my stuff on github. Just know that then none of that stuff is going to be Updated again. I'm just I'll leave it up there But it will all stay as it is now if you want the more updated stuff You'll have to get to my get lab which is going to be in the link of every video description starting with this one So Yeah, if you want to get to my suckless utilities, you want to get to my invent neofem You want to get to any of my dot files that they'll be uploaded to my get lab page now instead of github So that is it for me on this video if you want to get in contact with me You can do so via twitter at the linuxcast You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash linuxcast Before I go I'd like to take a moment to thank my current patrons Devon chris east coast web gen 2 is fun to petrico primus marcus michael and jacksnap tool steve Isid a mitchell art center amitaus merit camp joshua lee j dogs the bsg's rock and peter a thanks everybody for watching I'll see you next time
