I learned about this one recently. From their site:

Worktree provides an end-to-end Git, DevOps, and Cloud platform. Create Git repositories to store and collaborate on source code, build and test with Actions workflows, and deploy to Worktree Cloud.

A Complete Platform

  • Unlimited public and private repos
  • Suitable for OSS and commercial projects
  • GitHub-compatible Actions platform
  • Static Site hosting
  • Public package registries
  • Full PaaS Cloud (Coming Soon)

More than just a Git remote

Based on the open source Gitea project, Worktree Code is a full-featured and competitive code collaboration platform suitable for both open source and commercial projects. Open and review pull requests, publish releases and artifacts, publish container images and packages, and track issues and your time spent fixing them.

Utilize the largest CI ecosystem

Worktree Actions is compatible with the majority of the existing GitHub Actions ecosystem, with most workflows only requiring minor tweaks to run on Worktree. Leaving GitHub doesn't mean leaving your CI behind.

A new sovereign cloud

Once you've built your software, where do you run it? Canadian cloud options are overwhelmingly foreign-owned, and we're on a mission to change that.

Read more on our blog about how we're building a new Canadian cloud platform from scratch.

It seems they currently use AWS for their CI backend, and that might change eventually https://docs.worktree.ca/sovereignty That can be problematic for some, either because of Bezos or because they work with retail customers that compete with Amazon.

Before jumping on it, I would suggest to pore over the "Terms of Use • Acceptable Use Policy • Privacy Policy" and see if they are adequate to your needs. Sadly, it was not for mine.

On the plus side, the person behind it seems very competent and tech oriented. Not some American behemoth. You can check their code at the platform. https://worktree.ca/alex

This is exciting. We need more options other than the big American cloud providers.

Huh. I wonder how it compares to codeberg.

[–] Nils@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Codeberg is on top of Forgejo instead of Gitea. Because they just branched, if something works with Gitea, it will probably work with Forgejo. So static sites, CI tools might work the same way.

They also focus on only OSS project. Worktree allows commercial private projects.

I signed up. It looks really quite nice.

From what I can tell, this is the heroic efforts of one guy. But if this is successful it will grow.

I hope they can strike a deal with a scalable Canadian VPS operator like FullHost for the CI runners.
