ForgeFed is a federation protocol for software forges and code collaboration tools for the software development lifecycle and ecosystem. This includes repository hosting websites, issue trackers, code review applications, and more. ForgeFed provides a common substrate for people to create interoperable code collaboration websites and applications.
Federation means that these websites can interact, allowing the humans using them to interact too, despite being registered on different websites. For example, imagine you could host your Git repos anywhere you want, perhaps even your own personal website, but still be able to open issues and submit pull requests against other people's repos hosted elsewhere, without having to create accounts on those other websites!
Without federation, we end up having to choose between:
- Centralizing into huge profit-oriented websites, where we're powerless
- Hosting our code on a small website where we're in control and freedom but isolated from the community
With federation, all the websites now communicate with each other to form a network and community of collaboration in which we're all both free and connected. It puts the power back into our hands to create tools and collaborate in ways that are aligned with human needs, powerful and safe ways that allow us to include everyone and that don't depend on some big company's policies or some website suddenly shutting down. Let's create the future together!
Here is the place to organize development around federation for Forgejo.
This repository contains information on the architecture and the threat model of Forgejo's in-progress federation integration, as well as decisions revolving around the architecture itself.
Our federation roadmap contains a list of planned features and the features' requirements and specifications.
As many of you know, I have moved almost all my repositories from Github to Codeberg a while ago. Now I want to take it to the next level: Build my own little CI/CD engine!
Now, codeberg offers CI/CD with their Woodpecker instance at ci.codeberg.org, which I used in the past for example to build this blog but as codeberg is based on forgejo, you can have an even more interesting way to build your stuff — Forgejo Actions. So let’s explore that road!
This role installs and manages gitea or forgejo. A painless self-hosted Git service. Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. Forgejo is a fork of it. Source code & screenshots gitea. Source code forgejo. This role is also Part of the Ansible-Collection l3d.git.
Crow CI is a Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)1 application.
It is designed to be lightweight, fast and extensible.

Website for Forgejo
This website is built with Astro and Tailwind CSS, and is based on the AstroWind template.
When a branch foobar is pushed to the repository, the content is rendered for preview at https://forgejo.codeberg.page/@foobar/.
When a PR is created, its content is rendered for preview at https://forgejo.codeberg.page/@pull_1234/ where 1234 is the number of the PR.
The forgejo-website user is dedicated to providing an application token set to websitetoken and allows for publishing the branch and CI previews in https://codeberg.org/forgejo/pages.
Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge.
Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.
Brought to you by an inclusive community under the umbrella of Codeberg e.V., a democratic non-profit organization, Forgejo can be trusted to be exclusively Free Software. It includes and cooperates with hundreds of projects (Gitea, Git, ...) and is focused on scaling, federation and privacy.
