Why use that over gitea?
Currently? Zero reason.
Lummy, the creator of Gitea, wrote a post about why he moved Gitea over a company.
The TL;DR; is that it allowed Gitea to better work with companies that wanted to fund them but couldn’t fund individuals directly, moved the Gitea trademark to an entity that could outlive the creator, etc.
There hasn’t been any significant changes to how Gitea operates or can be used from a user point-of-view since the change happened.
Forgejo is a fork of Gitea that will pull changes made from Gitea, without being a company. In the events that Gitea goes to shit, it’ll be there as a replacement.
Is the consensus to migrate to Forgejo or stay with Gitea? I’m running Gitea using docked and wondering how to migrate my setup to Forgejo, if needed.
Personally I am conflicted. On one side gitea switching to a for-profit is worrying, even if they didnt do anything wrong yet. I like codeberg (non-profit behind Forgejo), but I also want to support devs actually working on the product. So I think for now I’ll stay with gitea, but I won’t hesitate to migrate to Forgejo if they start to act stupid
