What is Forgejo?
Forgejo is brought to you by an inclusive community under the democratic nonprofit Codeberg e.V., offering a trustworthy and entirely free software solution. It serves as a "soft" fork of Gitea, with a focus on expansion, federation, and privacy. You can create accounts on Codeberg and other instances or download it to self-host your own. It emphasizes security, scalability, federation, and privacy. Learn more about how it compares to other forges.
If you appreciate any of the following, Forgejo is definitely for you:

**Project Management**: Beyond Git hosting, Forgejo provides issues, pull requests, wikis, kanban boards, and more to coordinate with your team.

**Customizable**: Want to change your look? Adjust some settings? Numerous configuration switches allow Forgejo to work exactly how you want.
**Powerful**: Organization and team permissions, CI integration, code search, LDAP, OAuth, and much more. If you have advanced needs, Forgejo has you covered.
