Forgejo

Forgejo is a self-hosted software forge for Git-based collaboration, providing a familiar workflow for hosting repositories and coordinating development. It focuses on being lightweight, easy to operate, privacy-first, and community governed.

Key Features

• Git repository hosting with web UI and Git-over-SSH/HTTP(S)
• Pull requests (code review) and issue tracking for project coordination
• Wikis and additional collaboration tools for documentation and planning
• Organizations, teams, and fine-grained permissions
• Release publishing and built-in package registry for common ecosystems
• Authentication integrations such as LDAP and OAuth/OIDC
• Code search and a configurable, extensible administration experience
• Experimental federation work via ActivityPub (work in progress)

Use Cases

• Replace proprietary Git hosting with an owned, self-managed forge
• Run a private collaboration platform for companies, teams, or communities
• Publish releases and host packages alongside source code in one place

Limitations and Considerations

• Federation features are still a work in progress and may not be complete

Forgejo combines source hosting and project collaboration features in a single, resource-efficient platform. It is suitable for individuals and organizations that want control over their development workflows while keeping operations and maintenance straightforward.
