Forgejo is a community-driven alternative to Gitea that provides Git hosting for projects, friends, companies, or communities. It was created in 2022 by the Forgejo team because they believe the project should be owned by an independent community rather than a single organization. The platform offers intuitive interfaces and lightweight deployment options, making it accessible on nearly any machine — from Raspberry Pi to small cloud instances.

Beyond basic Git hosting, Forgejo includes built-in features for issue tracking, pull requests, wikis, kanban boards, and more, enabling teams to coordinate their development workflows without needing additional tools. The platform also supports publishing software through releases and a package registry compatible with Docker Hub, npm, and other package managers.

Forgejo is designed with privacy in mind from the outset, offering default settings that minimize data collection and provide granular control over what information is shared. It includes advanced features such as organization permissions, CI/CD integration, code search capabilities, LDAP authentication, OAuth support, and federation via ActivityPub for building a collaborative network of personal instances.

The project follows an open-source license (GPLv3 or MIT) depending on the version, with governance decisions documented in their Codeberg repository. Forgejo is actively maintained by its community and continues to evolve through contributions from users worldwide.
