So GitLab, Gitea, Fossil, ForgeJo, OneDev... the field is so balkanized, and so many of them are almost kinda sorta compatible with each other but not quite. The choices are intimidating because there's always the fear that you'll invest in a platform created by a small team and then be left orphaned if it fails.

So, how do you pronounce Forgejo? Forge-Joe? Forjei-ho? Forjei-o?
- wakamoleguy 3y ago| Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge. https://forgejo.org/faq/ https://forgejo.org/faq/ They also have a recording posted: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4 https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
- Pxtl 3y agoSo, non-silent E and the J is pronounced as a Y. .... Yeah, everybody's gonna call it Forge Joe.
- triyambakam 3y agoIf you need a recording of the pronunciation I think you've failed basic branding and marketing. Also the pronunciation recording does not match how I would expect it to be spelled. Fordgeo is what I'm hearing
- Pxtl 3y agoYeah, using an Esperanto word, and in particular one where the letters have very different pronounciation from English (the J is pronounced like Y and the E is not silent) seems like a bad move given that realistically the software world is in English.
- justsomehnguy 3y ago> different pronounciation from English Just like .gif, yeah.
- this_user 3y ago> If you need a recording of the pronunciation I think you've failed basic branding and marketing. Their landing page has this to say: > Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. This tells me basically nothing, at least nothing useful in terms of what they are offering.
- worik 3y ago>> Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. >This tells me basically nothing, at least nothing useful in terms of what they are offering. What else could they add to be clearer? * Software forge * Self hosted * Lightweight I find these terms to be clear.
- marssaxman 3y agoWhat is a "software forge"?
- worik 3y agoI really had no idea that it was not a very clear term. I was wrong. Golly, I learnt something!
- Minor49er 3y agoWhat is a lightweight software forge?
- plorkyeran 3y agoPeople who are not already using one of the non-Github forges have no clue what a "software forge" is. It's a very niche bit of jargon, and these days most developers are not even familiar with sourceforge.
- shp0ngle 3y agoWho cares about marketing. Nobody knows how to pronounce gitea either. Half of people pronounce it "gi-te-ah".
- justin_oaks 3y agoAnd let's not get started about the spelling vs pronunciation of LaTeX, NGINX, and Kubernetes.
- dymk 3y agoClarify? All of those have straightforward pronunciations and spellings, with maybe nginx's spelling the exception, but it's also very popular.
- MzHN 3y agoWikipedia lists two pronunciations for LaTeX: "/ˈlɑːtɛk/ LAH-tek or /ˈleɪtɛk/ LAY-tek". On top of those, I've also heard the k at the end be replaced with h, which would also be correct, as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_(letter) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_(letter) The common pronunciation of latex /ˈleɪˌtɛks/ would be incorrect. For Kubernetes, Wikipedia lists eight different pronunciations: /ˌk(j)uːbərˈnɛtɪs, -ˈneɪtɪs, -ˈneɪtiːz, -ˈnɛtiːz/, with the j after k being optional. NGINX feels like the most straightforward out of these, even though it is rarely pronounced correctly. As for myself, I like to call it NG Inks, as in next-gen tattoos, at least whenever I hear it pronounced wrong :)
- ehPReth 3y agoOh, just like Linux? https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/SillySounds/ https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/SillySounds... I have a feeling that's not the best metric, but go off.
- mariusor 3y agoIt's a niche product targeting nerds. Ideally nerds that have heard of Esperanto, and maybe even dabbled with it.
- fluidcruft 3y agoSounded like "for jail" to me.
- fluidcruft 3y agoMaybe like "forgo"?
- Pet_Ant 3y ago> So GitLab, Gitea, Fossil, ForgeJo, OneDev... the field is so balkanized Which ones are compatible with GitHub actions? To me that is the most important aspect. So much is done with those and I really don't want to relearn.
- shp0ngle 3y agoGitea and forgejo don't have CI/CD at all.
- BrittonR 3y agohttps://forgejo.org/docs/v1.20/user/actions/ https://forgejo.org/docs/v1.20/user/actions/ https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/overview https://docs.gitea.com/usage/actions/overview Both have “Actions” that are act based and very similar to GitHub Actions and offers some compatibility.
- shp0ngle 3y agoOhhh then I'm out of date.

- __jonas 3y agoForgejo has experimental CI/CD https://forgejo.org/2023-02-27-forgejo-actions/ https://forgejo.org/2023-02-27-forgejo-actions/ They make no guarantee of compatibility with Github Actions but they seem to be aiming for it based on the syntax.
- Pet_Ant 3y ago> Gitea ... don't have CI/CD at all. That seems to be no longer the case? >> Starting with Gitea 1.19, Gitea Actions are available as a built-in CI/CD solution. ... It is similar and compatible to GitHub Actions, and its name is inspired by it too. https://docs.gitea.com/next/usage/actions/overview https://docs.gitea.com/next/usage/actions/overview Which seems to have been released almost a year ago https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-1.19.0/ https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-1.19.0/
- stefan_ 3y agoWhat's balkanized here? Theres GitHub, theres GitLab, the other ones don't exist.
