Overview

Forgejo is a community-maintained fork of Gitea that prioritises transparency, federation (ActivityPub support in progress), and freedom from commercial influence. Feature-compatible with Gitea, so migration is straightforward. Hosted by Codeberg, the same organisation that runs one of the largest public Forgejo instances. Choose Forgejo over Gitea if community governance matters to you.
