Two New Self-Hostable Git Forges Hit the HN Front Page a Week After Cursor Shipped Origin
Walgit (109 points) and Codefloe (62 points) both landed on Aug 24, seven days after Cursor launched its Origin code-hosting beta. Walgit is an MIT-licensed single binary that makes a write-ahead log in object storage the source of truth and treats every on-disk repo as a disposable cache, explicitly positioning against GitHub's Spokes architecture; Codefloe is a professionally hosted Forgejo fork on Hetzner in Germany with no core feature behind a paywall and a public infrastructure repo. Combined with Entire, GitLab's Project Switch and Zed's Delta, that is six credible attempts on GitHub's position inside two months.
