Wiki: Terms
Terms
These are the terms for gitbay.org, kept informal on purpose. Another instance sets its own.
What this is
One person runs gitbay.org on one server in Nuremberg, Germany. It is free, comes with no warranty, and makes no uptime promise. Repositories are backed up nightly off the host, but keep your own clone of anything that matters.
What is not allowed
- malware, phishing kits, or anything built to attack other systems (security research and proof-of-concept code with a clear purpose are fine);
- spam, including accounts or repositories that exist to carry links;
- content that is illegal in Germany, or that infringes someone's copyright;
- harassment of other users;
- using CI, storage or bandwidth as general-purpose hosting: crypto mining, file dumps, or mirrors of large binaries unrelated to a project.
Limits
Each account may own 250 repositories and 5 GB. An organization has the same caps, and an account may create 5 organizations. Ask if you need more.
What the operator may do
Remove content, archive a repository or make it private, or disable an account, when it breaks the rules above or puts the instance at risk. Reports go to the address on the abuse page.
Leaving
account export writes your profile, repositories, issues and merge
requests as a bundle another gitbay instance can replay
(gitbay migrate), and every repository can be cloned.
gitbay auth delete (or the bottom of /settings) deletes the account
seven days after its mailed link is opened; see the user
guide for what goes and what stays.
If gitbay.org ever shuts down, every account with a verified address gets notice and time to export first.
