This is the way. If you don't care that much about CI/actions or already use a non-Github solution for that, it's even easier.

    Yeah. The real challenge with leaving GitHub is the availability of free macOS and Windows build environments (if you're in to that weird stuff 🧐).

    Codeberg only has Linux runners (to my knowledge), but I spent the time to make my project cross-compile to macOS and it was well worth it to move my stuff off of shithub.

    OK I found out after I got home for lunch.

    Its just a script that reaches out to my old mac mini that does the build in a VM. New VM each time. It was good enough for my purposes. The windows runner for Xamarin worked without issues in .net with windows runners. So just two physical boxes I would spin up on the fly. I thought it was more but that was it. I stopped using it a while back and just use linux for builds now since thats mostly my day job. I stopped doing other env work a bit ago.

    Hope that helps!
