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!
