What alternatives exist for Anonymous Github?

6 points by mhm


Anonymous Github [1] allows hosting anonymous snapshots of git repositories which is mainly useful for disclosing sources in double-blinded conferences. But as the name suggests, it requires the repository to be hosted on Github first. As someone who has mostly steered away from Github, I am looking for alternatives to such a service.

An idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while is a forge (maybe a pared down forgejo fork) where the only authentication mechanism is SSH. You create a keypair, upload the public key, and now you can create/manage/push to repositories. Create and push are easy. Management could be done through a CLI or TUI over SSH. It also lets you configure expected user.name, user.email, user.signingkey tuples to prevent any accidental pushes.
