About:
Forgejo is a self-hosted, lightweight software forge. It provides a powerful platform for collaborative software development, version control, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD). As a community-driven fork of Gitea, it emphasizes open governance and independence, offering a resource-efficient alternative to larger platforms like GitLab.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight and resource-efficient, runs on low-end hardware
  • Built-in CI/CD with native support for Woodpecker CI
  • Fine-grained access control and organizational management
  • Package registry support for container images, npm, PyPI, and more
  • Federated with ActivityPub for inter-instance communication
Use Cases:
  • Hosting private or public Git repositories for small to large teams
  • Building a complete DevOps platform with integrated CI/CD pipelines
  • Creating a decentralized, independent code hosting instance
Alternatives:
  • GitLab – More resource-intensive but with a broader, all-in-one feature set
  • Gitea – Very similar, but Forgejo offers a community-driven governance model and faster feature adoption
  • GitHub – A proprietary, cloud-hosted platform; Forgejo provides a self-hosted, open-source solution
