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. + +## License + +Forgejo is distributed under the terms of the [GPL version 3.0](LICENSE) or any later version. + +The agreement for this license [was documented in June 2023](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/governance/pulls/24) and implemented during the development of Forgejo v9.0.
