Forgejo is a self-hosted software forge that provides Git repository hosting and tools for collaborative development. It is developed as a community-governed project, with an emphasis on providing an independently managed environment for software projects.
The platform offers a familiar browser-based interface for repository management, discussions, code review and development planning. Teams can use it to organise their work without depending on a commercial code-hosting service.
Forgejo is intended to be relatively straightforward to administer while still supporting substantial development workflows. Its integration of repositories, issues, pull requests and automation makes it useful for individuals, community projects and organisations.
This is free and open source software.
