Cool! I feel a forgejo.world coming!
you could also call it git.world Nevermind it costs 1000$
Yeah it's one of the domains I would love to have but GoDaddy has registered a bunch of them, trying to resell for big $$ which I refuse to do.
forgejo.world is nice too ;)
do you own ruud.world? haha
I do now!
Please make it true. Having you as a talented sysadmin for a (soon) federated code collaboration platform would be indescribable.
Still running Gitea here, but if Forgejo can actually pull ahead I might rethink switching.
It started with the intention of a soft fork, so all this might also land in Gitea.
I am waiting for federation to land. Would love to give it a spin and see how smooth that works across instances.
I run it since a few weeks and already moved all my publicly hosted repositories there.
Not sure I would want to host my code on a random instance...
Does it support CI, or is just a version control?
- Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. If you have advanced needs, Forgejo has you covered.
Selfhosters wanna host. But many people don't. (Ergo: lemmy.world, mastodon.world (GitHub anyone?) so maybe people would like forgejo.world And if not, I'll use it myself! :-)
If you pull that one I'll kiss your feet. No really, forgejo is a wonderful piece of software. I'm eagerly awaiting their implementation of activitypub so that I can make code imrpovements without having to sing up for thousand services.
Imagine the benefits if the code for your activitypub instances were hosted on an activitypub federated platform. Everyone could participate from the comfort of the fediverse.
i think codeberg.org would be the flagship instance, since they're the ones that has been supporting the development most as far as i can see.
Yeah I don't need to be the flagship for everything ;-)
There is an "Actions" feature coming that is very similar to GitHub actions for CI and similar use-cases. It's still behind a feature flag as it's not quite ready for prime-time, but you can enable it on a self-hosted instance if you want. I believe this is also in Gitea as well, so you don't have to use the Forgejo fork, but I have moved my instance over due to the whole situation leading to the fork.
Thanks for the feedback. We currently use a self-hosted Gitlab on our company but it uses a lot of resources. Was wondering if I should take a look at forgejo.
they try to implement activitypub so that you can create issues, comment and collaborate with any fediverse account.
