so can anyone here quantify gogs gitea forgejo how are they different? which one is more mature, more stable? more likely to not go kaput?
Forgejo is a community-run fork because the project should not be owned by a for-profit company.

#22Just letting people know Gitea is already a fork of Gogs. So there are going to be three similar but parallel projects all sharing some history? https://github.com/gogs/gogs
Is there anyway I can find out the differences between two gogs and gitea?

why fork gitea and not gogs? is gitea "better" than the former?

are the core developers and other contributors migrating to Forgejo?
Re: Forgejo – Launching a Fork of Gitea
#25While the seeming lack of communication from the Gitea owners (see the Gitea open letter) is a bit worrying, it does seem a bit premature to fork and potentially fragment the community before they've actually done anything.
Gitea said they were going to make "An enhanced enterprise version" (i.e., a proprietary version). That's bad enough to warrant a fork in my book.
If only everyone follows ddevault's advice and starts each project with AGPL, that way no company can steal the code.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Today the for-profit company released a code dump for the implementation of an integrated CI/CD server. This was worked on in secret for months by multiple people with no say from the community. Gitea should work with Woodpecker for closer integration, not build one by itself. There is no incentive for the company to support alternative CI/CD
It's the first time I hear of Woodpecker https://woodpecker-ci.org/ And I thought I knew the CI/CD ecosystem fairly well. Now I learned that it's a fork of Drone https://www.drone.io/ Oh, the irony.
You should try it, Codeberg uses it for their public CI/CD

#27Mmh, I wonder what integrating act[1] into a CI System would look like... you could easily migrate your github projects to self-hosted and still support something like woodpecker ci. [1]: https://github.com/nektos/act
This should not be trusted, the for-profit company worked on in secret on this for months with multiple people, and released it today in a code dump with no input from the community. Now they have no incentive to support alternative CI/CD like woodpecker

#28Nice to see they're keeping the pronunciation ambiguity!

#30Hard to pronounce name sounds already like a bad start.
It's easy \ˈfor.d͡ʒe.jo\ the Esperanto word for forge
… unless your first language is very different from Esperanto. It really does sound weird. I already imagine trying to sell this at my $DAYJOB (I would likely have to "fork" it myself just to replace a few strings in the codebase that mention the original name).
