From the FAQ, forˈd͡ʒe.jo, to my midwestern ear, "4 Jay yo", Esperantese for Forge. A fork of Gitea [0] but managed via a non profit, no premium upsells, all freely licensed [1](GPL) etc. Good to see their community outreach is via Matrix and Mastadon. My kind of nerds. Apparently this is what Codeberg is running out, if you click . Looks like gitea/github to me, nothing wrong with that [2] source code is available from the little branch icon in the top right corner, hosted on codeberg which TIL is a forgejo instance [3] [0] https://forgejo.org/2024-02-forking-forward/ https://forgejo.org/2024-02-forking-forward/ [1] https://forgejo.org/2024-08-gpl/ https://forgejo.org/2024-08-gpl/ [2] https://v10.next.forgejo.org/explore/repos https://v10.next.forgejo.org/explore/repos [3] https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

It's more like "forge place" in the same way that kafejo (cafe) is "coffee place".

  That's English for you, same word is usable for describing action, place and the furnace.

  It's actually more like "distant gay" (and would be pronounced with a hard "g") because it's a (presumably deliberate) misspelling of forĝejo.

I was kind of passively wondering the other day what the main differences were between gitea and forgejo at this point, since they've been separate projects for a bit now. It seems there aren't any direct comparisons I could find, though.

> no premium upsells So.. like gitea? From my understanding the fork was done because gitea created a company to build custom-features for companies if they ask. Not really many indicators for a rugpull

    The money that Forgejo takes is €60/month in Liberapay donations, and some grants to develop federation features so I think it's a little disingenuous to compare it to Gitea's pivot to open core and hosted cloud service.

    How viable is gogs right now? I see that there is some activity on the repo but I guess there's no reason to not use Gitea or Forgejo?
    - ffsm8 2y ago
      I actually went back to it after the gitea pivot and was surprised that it actually performed way better on my rpi. But ymmv, I'm sure it's mostly because of how resource constrained it is. It does what I want is completely FOSS and low maintenance. Perfect for my home setup, but different people will have different preferences

Actually, they thought that the Esperanto word for forge, is «forgejo». When somebody pointed out, that «forgejo» (fora gejo -> forgejo) is «faraway gay person», it was already too late. So, now they say that it is inspired by «forĝejo», which is the word for forge.
