What are the functional differences between Gitea and Forgejo? Ones that would help an end-user like me pick?
This article makes it clear that I have to pick, but gives no clue as to how I would do that.
I have found https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ but there again, it's all about the governance and the development process. The federation is a concrete feature I guess, but it's not there yet for either Gitea or Forgejo.
- mappu 2y agoForgejo is an ideological fork (not a bad thing) that has chosen to rule out staying abreast of the significantly higher rate of development happening upstream. Consider it to be like Pale Moon instead of Firefox. Gitea has a great active community and remains MIT license with no CLA.
- remram 2y agoYes I know that, this is on every page. The functional differences are not, that's why I am asking about those.
- mappu 2y agoI can't say what Forgejo has over Gitea, but I can tell you Forgejo is missing everything from the 888 merged PRs in Gitea 1.23: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.23.0-rc0 https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.23.0-rc0 Repo license support, integrated Arch package repository, automatic issue suggestions, and the new review+homepage UIs would be notable ones for me.
