• The August 17 outage, and the work ahead

  Https://forgejo.org/ promises to be this, have only lightly used it on https://codeberg.org/ but it seems nice? - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative

  Instead of creating one more centralized alternative, it's best to invest all effort into a decentralized solution, like Radicle[1][2] or federated Forgejo[3][4].

• Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub

  We switched our entire product studio to a self hosted Forgejo https://forgejo.org/ and honestly this has been one of our best decisions: it's fast, has a great API for bots and automations to use, just a Go project so we've been able to make some tweaks to the runner. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Incident with Github.com

  I’m hosting my own https://tangled.org knot and spindle, and also hosting and building my own Frontend browser for https://forgejo.org looking forward to open sourcing it in the future for others to enjoy. For people who want a similar experience today, I’d recommend trying Codeberg (An official instance of Forgejo) though. However, keep in mind they voted in July to ban mostly AI generated repositories. You can... - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub

  You mean Gitea [0], a community-driven fork is Forgejo. There was some drama, have to admit is still don't really understand it (ask an llm I'd say). Codeberg [2] uses Forgejo. [0] https://about.gitea.com/ [1] https://forgejo.org/ [2] https://codeberg.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Codeberg Divides

  Genuine question to AI users upset by this: if you trust AI to generate your code, why don't you trust it to help you "deploy https://forgejo.org/ on cheap VPS make no mistakes"? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Codeberg bans vibe coded projects

  I don't think American laws such as s230 apply here, as Codeberg is German. If you want to be the arbiter of what you make, throw an instance of https://forgejo.org/ online. It's practically the same as Codeberg except you get full control. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Also excluding Github because, please just fracking don't. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Privacy-first mind mapping app. Part 7: Owning Your Workflow

• GitHub Is Not Your Backup. One Suspended Account Proved It This Week.

  Forgejo is a self-hosted git forge. It forked from Gitea in 2022 when Gitea moved to a for-profit company structure (yes, this is the kind of detail that matters once you've started caring about who owns your tools). It runs in a single container with SQLite. No PostgreSQL cluster, no Redis, no microservices. It speaks the git protocol natively, no web-layer abstraction. If you cloned a repo from Forgejo, you... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

  This is gitea's homepage: https://about.gitea.com/ This is forgejo's homepage: https://forgejo.org/ --- The homepages should tell you which is more focused on the self-hosted open source use case. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• How GitHub monopoly is destroying the open source ecosystem

  People like this CHOSE to use github despite it being a walled garden and now are complaining that they want to destroy the "open source" ecosystem. You see, here's Stallman being right once again. Stallman many times on many topics said he wouldn't use a product that's a walled garden and where his present would contribute to that products dominance (i.e. Network effects - everybody has to use it because... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Alternatives to GitHub Actions for self-hosted runners

  Forgejo is a community fork of Gitea, born out of disagreements with the for-profit direction Gitea was taking, and concerns over moving to a GitLab-like "open core" model. On the whole, both still offer very similar functionality, but Forgejo development appears to be progressing faster and offers lots of minor improvements, and would be the choice I'd tend towards. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
