    Noticed someone mentioning this (the product ) last weekend and did a next-next-finish install on some old hardware.

    This is really nice, got me some nice actions running already.

    I used to build locally and use git, cgit and Trac, but will probably move everything to forgejo.

      Trac

      That’s a name I haven’t heard in a looong time. I used to use a pre-1.0 version before GitHub became popular.

      Hah hahaha hahahahaha

      Our school systems are admined by teachers with only half a clue of what they are doing with only a few hours per week as a budget. This isn’t meant as an offense, math teachers that like to fiddle with computers in their free time are just not qualified to run the infrastructure for schools

      Source: am the son of such a teacher in Germany

      afaik none of the current options offer fedi support.

      Forgejo is a Fork of Gitea made because Gitea is managed by a For-Profit company. Their code is almost identical, in fact Forgejo is a drop-in replacement for Gitea. Gitea and Forgejo are (iirc) both working on the same federation support but Forgejo seems to be further ahead since they announced that they’ll upstream the Federation code to Gitea.

        What does being federated mean in this case? Git is already distributed. Is it just for discovery, or do you mean for things like issues and discussions?

          You’ll be able to (among other things) open a merge request from another instance. Gitlab and other source forges require you to create an account on each instance you want to contribute to.

          from a couple random comments, it sounds like the migration to Codeberg is relatively nice – if you want to do the interim step of getting out of GitHub and worry about personal instance at some later point …
