I missed the Subject line saying "Source Hut" and saw the URL first.

Immediately thought it sketchy, like a link to an URL shortener.


Of course, that's my mistake, but when I look at it now, I'm thinking of 
noping out of it.


I'm reminded of the local company that announced they were hiring some 
devs, and they were inundated with over a *thousand* applications.

In fact, my memory tells me it was over *10,000*, but even 1,000 is a LOT.

When one is facing such an onslaught and needs to winnow down to a 
reasonable number of applicants to interview, one is just looking for 
any reason to reject someone until.


Got 1,000 applications?  Scan through at 2 seconds each, any 
objectionable layout / colour / formatting? REJECT.

Now, got 500 applications.  Scan through at 5 seconds each, any glaring 
typos, too lengthy, too short? REJECT.

etc.


Source Hut has git integration?  You can push & pull / clone from there?

It looks reasonable enough, not hideous, but also not heavily used.

gregkh has an account there (or someone is posing as him) - that's 
interesting.


Gotta go...
