It is developed under the umbrella of Codeberg e.V., a German non-profit that also operates the public Codeberg.org instance on Forgejo. The project is written in Go and keeps the familiar forge feature set: Git hosting, pull requests and review, issues and projects, wikis, a package registry, repository mirroring, and Forgejo Actions, a CI system compatible with the GitHub Actions workflow format.\n\nForgejo publishes long-term-support releases and, since version 9, licenses new contributions under GPL-3.0-or-later rather than MIT, which is one of the visible divergences from Gitea. It is also developing ActivityPub-based federation between instances. Deployment is a single binary or container with SQLite, PostgreSQL or MySQL, so it runs on modest hardware. Its caveats are a smaller contributor base than GitHub or GitLab, Actions compatibility that is close to but not identical with GitHub's, and the ongoing divergence from Gitea, which means migration between the two forges becomes less trivial over time.",14  "capabilities": ["Git hosting with pull requests and code review", "Issues, projects and wikis", "Forgejo Actions CI using GitHub-compatible workflow syntax", "Package registry and repository mirroring", "LTS releases", "Federation work based on ActivityPub"],15  "workflows": ["Self-host a forge for a group on a small server", "Migrate from Gitea or GitHub using the built-in importer", "Run CI on self-hosted runners"],16  "advantages": ["Non-profit governance", "Copyleft license guarantees future openness", "Low resource footprint"],17  "limitations": ["Smaller ecosystem than the major forges", "Actions compatibility is partial", "Growing divergence from Gitea complicates switching back"],18  "prerequisites": ["A Linux host (containers common); optional PostgreSQL or MySQL"],19  "audiences": ["Communities and non-profits self-hosting code", "Privacy-conscious teams", "Home-lab operators"],20  "alternatives": ["gitea", "gitlab", "github"],21  "comparison_notes": "Gitea is the parent project with company backing and an MIT core; Forgejo differs mainly in governance, copyleft licensing and some features such as federation work.
