A developer asks about alternatives to Anonymous Github, a service that hosts anonymous snapshots of git repositories for double-blind academic conference submissions, but requires GitHub hosting. The discussion explores options including pseudonymous accounts on other forges, self-hosted solutions like Gitea or Forgejo, SSH-only forges, soft-serve, Radicle, and Tor hidden services. Key insight: the core need is a web-based file explorer with syntax highlighting of a single commit snapshot (no history), since commit metadata can de-anonymize authors. The thread concludes that a dummy account on an alternative forge is the simplest current solution, though imperfect.
