I moved one of my projects from Github to codeberg because Github can't deal with sha256 repositories, but codeberg can.

What's the benefit of using sha256 for a repository?

Security, sha1 was deprecated in 2011 by NIST due to security concerns, and browsers reject sha1 certificates as invalid since 2017.

Yet programmers in 2026 for some reason are still using it when signing their git tags and commits. Unless they are using a sha256 git repository.
