What are the current thoughts on Gitea vs Forgejo? I'm thinking of migrating from a self-hosted Gitlab to one of them in the near future. The way Gitea was taken over leaves a bad taste in my mouth so I'm leaning towards Forgejo, but it's not really clear to me if that's the right choice.
- CameronNemo 4y agoI am personally not a fan of Forgejo relicensing (to AGPL). Makes the "soft fork" aspect so much harder, because anything contributed to Forgejo cannot be easily cherry picked onto Gitea.
- jpace121 4y agoForgejo currently is only applying branding changes and currently plans on being a soft fork. I think it’s existence is a good thing for the ecosystem (if Gitea the Company did something wonky, there will be an organized group already doing releases ready to go), but I’m not sure there is a huge benefit in running it, at this juncture.
- dave78 4y agoThe other discussion in this thread has convinced me that for now, the momentum seems to be with Gitea, so I'll probably lean towards that. I'm still disappointed in how the whole situation was handled, though, and it leaves me wondering what other changes will be around the corner.
