Phorge

Phorge is an open source, self-hosted platform for software teams that combines code review, task tracking, and project collaboration in a single web application. It is a community-driven continuation of the Phabricator codebase and workflow.

Key Features

• Built-in code review workflow (Differential-style) and repository hosting/integration
• Task and project management with workboards (Kanban-style boards)
• Audit trails and activity feeds across code, tasks, and projects
• User and permission system for controlling access to projects and objects
• Web-based UI for browsing changes, reviewing revisions, and managing work

Use Cases

• Running an internal code review system for Git-based development
• Managing engineering tasks and projects alongside code changes
• Hosting an integrated collaboration hub for software teams and organizations

Limitations and Considerations

• Installation and maintenance can be more involved than lighter-weight tools due to its broad feature set and dependencies

Phorge fits teams that want an integrated, on-premises alternative to hosted developer platforms while keeping code review and work tracking tightly connected. It is particularly suited for organizations that prefer the Phabricator-style workflow and unified tool suite.
