Migrating to Codeberg — 2025 — Blog — GNU Guix

This is great to hear! Before I used NixOS I tried using Guix for a while, but the (relatively small) barrier to submitting changes was one of the things that eventually made me switch to Nix. I know lots of people enjoy submitting changes via mailing list, but for most people nowadays who are used to using GitHub/Gitlab a web interface is much simpler.

Slightly surprised that they didn’t choose to self-host a Forgejo instance, but I like what Codeberg are doing and should probably migrate some of my projects there as well.

Microsoft also wont allow me to search the nix codebase, unless i pay them with data.
Is there an alternative? Rn i’m stuck downloading and then searching locally.

Keep downloading and searching locally, you can use Sourcegraph in the web but a local experience will be better
