    no, you can accept them on an open port or via CLI

      Not sure what you’re suggesting. Here… are you suggesting random write access to a port on a device you host? Anybody can push a branch to your selfhosted repo?

      Or are you talking about self-hosted forgejo, gitlab, etc.?

        Yes, if you want to accept pull requests from anyone, you can set up a jailed git server with public access, for example.

          That’s not a pull request, but a merge request. Besides the point though. What I’m getting at is: isn’t that asking for trouble? Somebody could

          while true ; do
            head /dev/urandom -c 100MB > file.txt
            git add file.txt
            git commit -m "new commit"
            git push
          done
          

          and fill up your hard drive. Also, depending on the protocol, they could try fuzzing it. Or, pipe /dev/urandom into nc and blast your git port.

          And of course, the first problem is discoverability. Who’s going to find your random, unfederated, git service?

          It just doesn’t sound like a convincing solution, IMO.

            no, it’s not specific to merge requests. theres a tool called git-shell that prevents abuse
