Codeberg – Fast Open Source Alternative to GitHub

> Our mission is to support the creation and development of Free Software; therefore we only allow repos licensed under an OSI/FSF-approved license. For more details see Licensing article. However, we sometimes tolerate repositories that aren't perfectly licensed and focus on spreading awareness on the topic of improper FLOSS licensing and its issues. If you aren't doing FOSS software and aren't "tolerated" you aren't allowed here. This is not an alternative to Github.

I'm wondering, now almost three years in after the Forgejo/Gitea fork, which side of the fork ended up better. Both still seem very active with thousands of commits each. I run a Gitea server (since long before the fork, constantly updated) that handles issues, pull requests, signed commits, CI/CD, actions, and even serves my containers and packages. It's been amazing. Of course Forgejo can do the same. For those who’ve followed both projects closely — which fork would you say…

https://codeberg.org uses the https://gitea.io software for its free remote Git repository service. If you're uncomfortable with non-free software, open-core, commercial underpinnings and/or corporate ownership of Github and Gitlab, hosting your repos on Codeberg — or starting your own Gitea site — are very viable alternatives.

In the wake of the “GitHub CEO stepped down, no longer independent” news, I’m reminded that not enough people know about Codeberg — free Git hosting run by a non-profit organization. No tracking, no ads, no corporate buyout risk. Just open-source, community-driven software hosting.
