Forgejo – Beyond coding. We forge.
forgejo.org
Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.

Forgejo is a community-driven Free Software project under the umbrella of Codeberg, a non-profit association in Germany, that develops a code forge platform similar to GitHub, and that is a drop-in replacement for Gitea.

    Codeberg will use Forgejo? What’s the point of Codeberg existing then? o.0

      Codeberg was using gitea so far. Now gitea has been eated up a for profit company and the gitea trademark belongs to said company. They plan on making money by selling services for an enterprise edition like github does. I think enterprise edition code will be close sourced too in part.

      So the community forked gitea and changed its name to forgejo. Forgejo trademark is owned by codeberg which is a non-profit.

      From a blog post on their website:

      The first objective relates to how we are organized as a project. It is crucial for Forgejo to guarantee that our product will remain Free Software forever, under the guidance of an open and inclusive community. Forgejo will provide a healthy project governance, so that it can truly focus on the needs of all those people that use our software on a daily basis.

      To this end we are very proud that Codeberg e.V. has decided to become our project’s custodian. Codeberg e.V. is a non-profit organization with a stellar reputation, that is dedicated to the success of the Free Software movement. They provide software development services to FOSS projects at Codeberg.org.

      Codeberg website will do what it has always done. Will just use forgejo as backend instead of gitea.

        Ahhh, I didn’t know Codeberg was using Gitea’s backend, I though Codeberg was its own Github alternative, is the front end also from Gitea?

          yes. codeberg is a single binary and serves the frontend too. not sure if there are other frontends for it.
