Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.

Plenty of people use Codeberg and Gitlab. And it's still distributed - I don't need to lock files and ask coworkers if I can work on them.

Maybe if Git had native support for PRs and issues this wouldn't have happened. (And yes I'm aware of git send-email etc.)

In Codeberg, how does one even search for files containing a given string? Probably the #1 thing I do on GitHub is searching for files in a project containing a given string.

I'm not being sarcastic but how do you do it on github?;) it basically never works

Not only results are incomplete but it seems once they went into training LLMs on all code they host they made sure no one else can do the same easily and so now everything is madly rate limited.

Every time I just clone and grep.
