Published release of the collaborative development platform Forgejo 13.0, which allows you to deploy a collaborative system on your servers with Git repositories, reminiscent of GitHub, Bitbucket and Gitlab in terms of the tasks they solve. Forgejo is a fork of the Gitea project, which in turn forked from the Gogs platform. The spin-off of Forgejo occurred in 2022 after attempts to commercialize Gitea and the transfer of control to a commercial company. The Forgejo Project is committed to the principles of independent management and community ownership. Git hosting Codeberg.org has switched to Forgejo. The project code is written in Go and distributed under the GPLv3 license.
The key features of the platform are low resource consumption (can be used on a Raspberry Pi board or in cheap VPS) and simple process installations. Provides typical project management capabilities such as task management, issue tracking, pull requests, wikis, tools for coordinating development teams, release preparation, automation of package placement in repositories, access rights management, interface with continuous integration platforms, code search, authentication via LDAP and OAuth, access to the repository via SSH and HTTP/HTTPS protocols, connecting web hooks for integration with Slack, Discord and other services, support for Git hooks and Git LFS, tools for migrating and mirroring repositories. Separately highlighted is the ability to use the ActivityPub protocol to combine individual developer servers into a federated network.
Main changes:
- Added options for informing the administrator of a publicly accessible server about violations of rules and the posting of objectionable content. Complaints can be made against users, organizations, repositories, pull requests, issue reports, and comments.
After sending, complaints are displayed in a separate section of the interface administrator. Repeated complaints are grouped and sorted in a general list by the number of notifications sent by different participants.
- Added interface for migrating projects from the system collaborative development Pagure, which can be used to migrate projects to the recently launched collaborative development service Fedora Forge, which is being developed to replace the Pagure platform used by Fedora for code and metadata collaboration packages.
