Is gitea any good?
- JCTheDenthog 5mo agoI prefer Forgejo, which is a Gitea fork. Forgejo is what runs Codeberg if I understand correctly.
- Khaine 5mo agoI currently use Gitea. I am interested in your opinion on why you prefer Forgejo to Gitea
- worksonmine 5mo agoI'm not OP but probably the licensing drama. Gitea is now open core if I remember correctly. Some details are available here[1]. I also used to run Gitea, but I don't any more. The open-source churn is getting tedious and difficult to keep up with. [1]: https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html
- techknowlogick 5mo agoI'm a project lead of Gitea, and former elected board member of Codeberg. Gitea remains opensource (feel free to check out the repo and you can see that the license remiains as is), and maintains yearly community elections. The codeberg board was informed a full year prior to their "we just found out blog post", and so "catching the whole community by surprise" is very much not accurate since they very much knew. As well, we (the company) were very public with our activities prior to our blog post announcing things, including working to support other open source projects migrate, and posting about it through various channels (social media, chat, etc..).
- FrostKiwi 5mo agoSelf hosted gitea for many years with ~25 devs. Yes, it's essentially a FOSS carbon copy of GitHub. CI/CD is also intercompatible, uses the same syntax and pulls the original GitHub Actions packages. Now with the Forgejo split, I would prefer Forgejo, as it has way more steam behind it with Codeberg and Blender as the big use-cases.
