There is no command git issue create [hostname] [title] [description] and if there was such a command, it'd require authentication on the specific instance to prevent spam.

You still need to create an account on each Forgejo instance to report a bug there...

And even, if you commit code or make a pull request... Git might be decentralized (you can develop with your friend independently from each other and merge it), but try to commit code to a GitHub project, GitLab instance or Forgejo instance without having an account there to authenticate yourself... It won't work.

You mean git inherently requires you to identify yourself?

Huh, shock

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 6 points 5 days ago

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

My point was from the beginning that I don't want to create 2 accounts when I report a bug a bug on Forgejo instance 1 and on instance 2.

The suggestion whether I have heard about git does not solve anything about that...

Some one else here mentioned that it's possible to login with Mastodon on each of the instance, which is the correct direction (allows to report a bug on both instances via an external account). Disadvantage is still: My 2 bug reports are not linked to each other, because there is no shared Forgejo profile, which would actually require something like federation.

git identification has nothing to do with authentication, as any sane person with git experience knows
