Welcome to Forgejo

Small cloud instance? No problem! +- Project management: Besides Git hosting, Forgejo offers issues, + pull requests, wikis, kanban boards and much more to **coordinate with your team**. +- Publishing: Have something to share? Use **releases** to host your software for download, + or use the **package registry** to publish it for docker, npm and many other package managers. +- Customizable: Want to change your look? Change some settings? + There are many **config switches** to make Forgejo work exactly like you want. +- Powerful: Organizations & team permissions, CI integration, Code Search, LDAP, OAuth and much more. + If you have **advanced needs**, Forgejo has you covered. +- Privacy: From update checker to default settings: Forgejo is built to be **privacy first** for you and your crew. +- Federation: (WIP) We are actively working to connect software forges with each other through **ActivityPub**, + and create a collaborative network of personal instances. + +## Learn more + +Dive into the [documentation](https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/), subscribe to releases and blog post on [our website](https://forgejo.org), find us on the Fediverse or hop into [our Matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#forgejo-chat:matrix.org) if you have any questions or want to get involved. + + +## Get involved + +If you are interested in making Forgejo better, either by reporting a bug or by changing the governance, please [take a look at the contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
