Forgejo
An open source software forge with a focus on federation
In order to collaborate among global FOSS communities, free and open source software projects need to make their software repositories available somewhere online. Running such repositories on top of a third party proprietary service introduces significant liabilities, including stability and privacy risks. There are also geopolitical issues of depending on such pseudo-infrastructure, where the political situation in one country can have an impact on the availability of technology in other countries.
Forgejo is a new software forge designed to scale to millions of users and projects by combining ActivityPub based federated features developed for Gitea and optimizations developed for Codeberg.
Forgejo helps to decentralise by enabling many independent forges to emerge, and allow them to federae. Forgejo aims at lowering the technical barrier, facilitate moderation in a federated environment and provide the expected security updates.
