Tired of big platforms playing monopoly? Providing Git hosting for your project, friends, company or community? **Forgejo** (/for'd͡ʒe.jo/ inspired by forĝejo – the Esperanto word for *forge*) has you covered with its intuitive interface, light and easy hosting and a lot of builtin functionality. Forgejo was [created in 2022](https://forgejo.org/2022-12-15-hello-forgejo/) because we think that the project should be owned by an independent community. If you second that, then Forgejo is for you! Our promise: **Independent Free/Libre Software forever!** ## What does Forgejo offer? <!-- If you want to know what Forgejo is like, you can check out public instances, e.g. [Codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org). --> If you like any of the following, Forgejo is literally meant for you: - Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly **every machine**. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem! - Project management: Besides Git hosting, Forgejo offers issues, pull requests, wikis, kanban boards and much more to **coordinate with your team**. - Publishing: Have something to share? Use **releases** to host your software for download, or use the **package registry** to publish it for docker, npm and many other package managers. - Customizable: Want to change your look? Change some settings? There are many **config switches** to make Forgejo work exactly like you want. - Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. If you have **advanced needs**, Forgejo has you covered. - Privacy: From update checker to default settings: Forgejo is built to be **privacy first** for you and your crew. - Federation: (WIP) We are actively working to connect software forges with each other through **ActivityPub**, and create a collaborative network of personal instances. ## Learn more Dive into the [documentation](https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/), subscribe to releases and blog post on [our website](https://forgejo.org), <a href="https://floss.social/@forgejo" rel="me">find us on the Fediverse</a> or hop into [our Matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-chat:matrix.org) if you have any questions or want to get involved. ## Get involved If you are interested in making Forgejo better, either by reporting a bug or by changing the governance, please [take a look at the contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
