Forgejo
A lightweight software forge focused on scaling, federation, and privacy (fork of Gitea).
Forgejo provides a self‑hosted platform for managing software projects, offering core features such as repository hosting, issue tracking, pull‑request workflows, and release management. It is designed to be easy to install and require minimal ongoing maintenance, allowing teams to run the service on modest hardware while still supporting a full set of collaboration tools.
The software emphasizes security, scaling, federation, and privacy, making it suitable for organizations that need to keep their code and data under their own control. Its lightweight architecture consumes far fewer resources than many comparable forges, and it includes a user interface familiar to GitHub users, facilitating migration and everyday use.
Developed by an inclusive community under the Codeberg e.V. umbrella, Forgejo is released under the MIT license and guarantees 100 % free and open‑source software. It can be deployed independently or joined with other instances through federation, and contributions are welcomed across areas such as localization, UX, and governance.
