not that mature — its name violates git’s trademark policy

https://git-scm.com/about/trademark

This is a meaningless fact unless Git actually sues them for infringement. Failure to quickly sue can be seen as tacit approval.

Do github, gitea, and gitlab not?

  • i can't speak to gitea, but github and gitlab are explicitly mentioned as having a license in their policy:

    > Please be aware that GitHub and GitLab are exceptions to this Policy because they are subject to explicit licensing arrangements that pre-date, and thus take precedence, over this Policy.

  • From gitea:

    GIT is a trademark of Software Freedom Conservancy and our use of “gitea” is under license.
