#git-forge — Public Fediverse posts

Can someone explain why everyone is suddenly moving to #Codeberg and not #GitLab?

I know I'm kinda late to ask this, but why is Codeberg better than GitLab these days? What happened that it become the preferred choice for people moving off of #GitHub?

#GitForge #Git

Read this blog by @sourav666 on @itsfoss about the use of #Forgejo by the Dutch central #government:

https://itsfoss.com/news/netherlands-forgejo-migration/

"The platform is a self-hosted Forgejo instance, running on Dutch government infrastructure... It's free for all government organizations..."

"... this initiative is still in the pilot phase, with the rollout being kept deliberately gradual."

Look at this:

https://code.overheid.nl/

The beginning of a #GitForge by the Dutch government (overheid) based on #Forgejo.

Very good that the Dutch #government takes the first steps to become independent regarding their Git repositories.

Read why this important in a blog with a recommendation for a Git forge that I wrote a while ago (in Dutch):

My blog #BurgeonLab relies on #SourceHut Git and Builds. They’ve been down and at first I couldn’t deploy my site to my static host, #Bunnynet.

This triggered me to create a local script that runs all the fetch/build steps as an alternative pathway to upload...

@rtyler I deployed my own instance of #OneDev and I haven't really used GitHub since. @forgejo is also a good option. Don't want to host your own? Then use code.onedev.io or codeberg.org public instances! #openSource #Git #GitForge #Collaboration

Forgejo: Die leichte Git-Forge für Sysadmins und DevOps

I wrote once a blog about #GitLab, #GitHub, and #Forgejo (#codeberg). What to choose?

It is in Dutch, but I'm pretty sure your browser can translate it for you:

https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2025/11/11/git-forge-overheid

It is a recommendation for a #GitForge for the Dutch #government.

Part of the conclusion:
In summary, from the point of view of digital sovereignty and digital autonomy is a self-hosted Forgejo the best choice for the government.

#digitalsovereignty #digitalautonomy

Who has still a #FOSS project hosted on #GitHub? Why?

Don't you prefer a development platform that is aligned with the values of free software?

Did you consider migrating to e.g. @Codeberg? Is there something holding you back?

Have you heard any recent updates on the federation? Last time I checked (a few months back) it seemed to be in the "nice to have" category but not particularly actively being worked on.

🤖🔒 A fox-led #crusade to bamboozle #AI #scrapers from a "Git forge" that sounds as mythical as it does unnecessary. 29 minutes of your life wasted on a convoluted game of hide-and-seek with bots, because apparently, that's the hill we're choosing to die on. 🦊💻

I feel like more projects should just self-host their core services again. Like self-hosting a #Git server (even if it is a fully fledged #Gitforge) isn't that complicated. And then you're in control of when it goes down and when it gets DDOSed you can just be like "LOL, *click disable internet uplink*" and continue working using e.g. a VPN towards it.

You can literally put it into your basement and serve millions of people whit almost no resources...

@number6 See for an elaborate discussion on the topic of using a free and #opensource git forge also this thread:

Ik heb een blog met een aanbeveling voor de Git-werkplaats van de #overheid geschreven:

https://developer.overheid.nl/blog/2025/11/11/git-forge-overheid

Conclusie: vanuit het oogpunt van digitale soevereiniteit en digitale autonomie is een self-hosted #Forgejo de beste keuze voor de overheid.

Anyone using https://git.sr.ht notice `git push` acting really slowly for the past few days? It was never like this before... Increased server load? #sourcehut #srht #git #gitforge #gitrepo

Example: Writing 11 objects, 1.2KB only. `time git push` took 1m3s total, 0.05s user, 0.04s system, 0% CPU.

Update: I think the error is local to me; I had some errors on `git fsck` and I streamlined `.build.yml`. It seems to be fixed now.

Finally migrated my personal website (powered by #HugoSSG) from #GitLab to #Codeberg. Including #CI via #ForgejoActions and hosting via #CodebergPages. Jobs are running on the local #homelab server.

There are jobs for building and deploying the website and for updating the contribution data through #contripy.

So far this has been very smooth and straightforward. Though I still need to learn the new CI workflow syntax as I'm used to GitLab from the daytime job.

#Forgejo #FOSS #gitforge

Hey FOSS-community, I'm trying to compare #GitLab and @forgejo.

Some important aspects are:

- #DigitalSovereignty (most important)
- #SelfHosting
- #Collaboration between instances (#federation)
- #PublicValues
- Prevention of #VendorLockIn
- #Scalability
- #Robustness
- Guaranteed #support by professionals
- Software #freedom
- #Longevity
- Suitability for the #government

Do you have any thoughts on this? Or any useful links?

okies, decided, today's the day... gonna start moving my repositories to codeberg... notabug.org's too consistently inconsistently available. n_n a little sad. mmmmmmuch fondness for notabug.org. ... i wonder, if i leave the repository off the end of the url in codeberg's migration tool... does it allow migrating everything in one go? :3

or should i skip codeberg, and go full forgejo? :)

TIL Forgejo can map issue links to an external issue tracker! i knew it could put an Issues tab that links out, but now those pesky #123 links in commit messages can be useful and go somewhere! brb gonna go update all my code mirrors to link to the parent repo's issue board :3c #Forgejo #GitForge

@radicle looks like an interesting Free Software to check out: it’s a peer-to-peer, local-first git forge for the decentralized Web! 👀

@mxivi It makes no sense to be fatalistic about hosting open source repo somewhere outside the #GitHub. In fact, there are numbers of successful projects that reside on #Codeberg and people pick up quickly.

Anyone can sign up on Codeberg or fellow #Forgejo, #Gitea instances without fuss and silly animations (meant as a patronizing gesture, big no-no), while also disregarding the futile race for some "pretty" centralized activity chart. GitHub isn't the git forge we all deserved anyway: they just made it clearer recently by excluding non-GitHub git commits from the chart. And you still can make a portfolio that points to, surprise-surprise, profiles outside GitHub! Who might have thought that once making account on GH to contribute to your project of choice is no different from making just another on the side?
