Thanks to everyone who contributed financially to our little #openbsd and #gameoftrees based #git repository hosting project in 2025!

Here are the numbers for contributions in 2025 which arrived via #opencollective, with the corresponding amounts of platform and payment processor fees, and taxes (due in the EU only because tax thresholds in other regions have not been crossed):

EU amount: 1975.40€

EU VAT: 342.84€

EU net amount: 1632.56€

EU fees: 271.30€

non-EU amount: 830.00€

non-EU fees: 139.52€

Total amount without fees: 2805.40€

Total fees: 410.82€

Here are the equivalent numbers for paid subscriptions (people actually using the service) in 2025:

EU amount: 30.00€

EU VAT: 5.21€

EU net amount: 24.79€

EU fees: 1.20€

non-EU amount: 210.00€

non-EU fees: 11.48€

Total amount without fees: 240.00€

Total fees: 12.68€

It is evident that we are currently relying on people making voluntary contributions to keep the lights on, rather than on actual users of the service (though there is some overlap between both groups, which is nice). We are hoping to close this gap by the end of 2026.

If you like our project then you could help us a lot by raising awareness of our existence among people you know who might be interested.

If you did already consider booking a subscription but have decided against doing so, do not hesitate to let us know why. Perhaps we can improve things for you

Git tip: `git bisect` automates finding the commit that introduced a bug. Start with `git bisect start`, mark good/bad commits, and Git will binary search through history to find the culprit. #Git

#Git tip: `git stash push -m "description"` saves work-in-progress with a description. Use `git stash list` to see all stashes, `git stash pop stash@{0}` to apply a specific one.

We have revised the pricing tiers of our #gameoftrees based #git hosting service for the coming year.

Community tiers are now cheaper, starting at 5€/month. These tiers now just about cover the hosting costs we are spending to keep the lights on.

To compensate, prices of professional tiers have been raised slightly. Commercial support is now available for these tiers through our fiscal host and can be booked separately. Our commercial support team members are @stsp, @gonzalo, and @op

Git tip: Use `git log --oneline --graph` to visualize your branch history as a simple tree. Helps you understand merge patterns and spot where branches diverged or converged. #Git
