Forgejo
- rapnie 4y agoCould you rename this to the blog title? "Forgejo: Beyond Coding. We Forge". This project is the soft fork of Gitea that was created in reaction to the open letter [0][1], after Gitea Ltd. was incorporated [2].

- moritonal 4y agoTo summarise "The Forgejo project is a community-driven free software project that aims to provide a code forge platform similar to GitHub and to be a drop-in replacement for Gitea."
- europeanguy 4y agoWhat is gitea? Is it a Foss and self-hosted GitHub?
- jraph 4y agopretty much. Very lightweight and easy to setup too.
- yamtaddle 4y agoBenefits over (say) self-hosted Gitlab include: 1) Very, very operationally-simple deployments are available. It can run with just SQLite, no external services (e.g. database daemons, queuing systems, all the other stuff that GitLab likes to have) whatsoever. 2) It looks and feels more like Github, which is nice if you prefer that UI. 3) The site's far lighter-weight and snappier than GL, when you're using it. 4) You can (probably—workloads vary) serve 1-100 users with the dumbest possible deployment, running on a potato. It's far more resource-efficient than GL—which, it's not hard to be more resource efficient than GL, since it's an absolute beast, but Gitea comes in way under it. Downsides: 1) Missing some stuff GL offers (like integrated CI) 2) Lacks some features that make serving at enormous scales (of the sort you almost certainly won't hit unless providing a Github/Gitlab-like service to the world) impractical. 3) Fewer just-works 3rd party integrations, especially commercial ones.
- cmeacham98 4y agoAs someone who hasn't been following this: what's the split look like between Forgejo and Gitea for where the contributors are going? Is is mostly going to Forgejo (other than Gitea Inc employees obviously), mostly staying with Gitea, a mix?
- jolheiser 4y agoAs a quick bias note, I am a Gitea maintainer, but a majority of frequent maintainers appear to be staying with Gitea so far. That being said, Forgejo is a soft fork, so they will still benefit from those contributions.
- remram 4y ago> a majority of frequent maintainers appear to be staying with Gitea Forgejo was officially launched yesterday... Also what's a "frequent maintainer"?
- jolheiser 4y agoYes, but the soft fork discussions began a few days after the first blog post. I have no real description for a "frequent maintainer", so maybe my wording was incorrect there. I simply meant someone who contributes to the project often, but I don't have a concrete description for you considering "often" could also be subjective.
- remram 4y ago> someone who contributes to the project often A frequent contributor then? "Maintainer" usually implies some sort of admin rights, e.g. the people merging in the contributions.
- jolheiser 4y agoWe have a list of maintainers, not all of whom can merge, so I apologize for getting this terminology incorrect. I have usually referred to frequent contributors as maintainers interchangeably, but I am glad to have it clarified. Yes, frequent contributors.
- zx8080 4y agoDoes any commit to forgejo benefit gitea ltd also? What about other way around (while gitea is still opensource - is it, btw?) Or how does a soft fork work?
- jolheiser 4y agoA soft fork means Forgejo will be periodically pulling from Gitea. As far as I know they intend to upstream patches they make as well. And yes, Gitea is still open source and MIT licensed.
- nwithan8 4y agoIf Forgejo is pulling updates from Gitea, and Gitea might be pulling updates from Forgejo, what's the point of the split in the first place?
- ancapsfascists 4y agoHow do you pronounce this? Forge Joe? Forego? Forgeaux?
- bovermyer 4y agoThe article provides an mp4 that answers this question: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4 https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
- Kiro 4y agoNo way anyone will pronounce it that way.
- bovermyer 4y agoNow that I know how it's supposed to be pronounced, that's how I'll pronounce it. So I just invalidated your argument, lol.
- Kiro 4y agoYou did not. It's an expression and doesn't actually mean "not a single person on the planet". A few anomalies do not make it untrue. Also, you saying you will is not the same as doing it.
- daniel-cussen 4y ago
- F3nd0 4y agoThen again, you'd have to assume that people trying to follow official pronunciation are anomalies.
- bovermyer 4y agoI was being playful, calm yourself.

- jonwest 4y agoForgive me here, but what’s the relationship between this to Gitea to Gogs? IIRC, Gogs was the original that was forked to become Gitea which has now been formed to become Forgejo? Or was it Gitea to Gogs?
- thanzex 4y agoseems like a promising project! I'll definitely give this a spin, however, I landed on the page and I wasn't immediately sure about what i had in front of me, same goes for the github page. If this is a software meant for developing with powerful collaboration tools, where is even just one screenshot of what it looks like? I don't want to sound like a tiktok kid that only cares about form over function, but there's absolutely nothing visual ( or written for that matter ) to illustrate this project. Do I really have to pull the image, execute it and find out about the looks, features, and how to configure it? No introductory video? No Docs? Heck, not even a screenshot of the main page
- jolheiser 4y agoYou can go look at the demo/site for Gitea if you want. At the time of writing the interface will be identical.
