The official SourceHut Alpine Linux package repositories are available at
[mirror.sr.ht](https://mirror.sr.ht).

<div class="alert alert-success">
  If you would like to contribute to the package repositories, we accept
  patches at <a href="https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-packages"

  <p>
    <strong>Warning:</strong> SourceHut is still in alpha, and has no stable
    releases. As such, we do not recommend packaging SourceHut for your upstream
    distribution repositories until we have shipped stable versions of our
    software.
