Forgejo is developed by the people at Codeberg, they just rebranded their own Forgejo instance to Codeberg and added some extra around it (like Pages or the FAQ sections)
GitHub uses Git, and you don’t need any cool interface for Git, just a terminal. But we don’t like terminals, they’re ugly! Issues, pull requests, projects, wikis, actions… thanks to code management.
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
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?
That's great to know, thank you! I want to get my shit out of github and onto a personal federated instance asap so here's hoping forgejo can make it happen!
