You might want to consider checking out GitLab and Gitee.

You mean Gitea [0], a community-driven fork is Forgejo. There was some drama, have to admit is still don't really understand it (ask an llm I'd say). Codeberg [2] uses Forgejo and offers it as a hosted service.

Other way round. Forgejo is a fork of gitea

That's what I said, but indeed in a very bad way :)

No, it's not what you said.

Gitea is a fork of Gogs.

Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Codeberg folks forked Gitea to create forgejo.

"Forgejo was created in October 2022 after a for profit company took over the Gitea project. It exists under the umbrella of a non-profit organization, Codeberg e.V. and is developed in the interest of the general public."

Technically gitee is also a git hosting provider: https://gitee.com/ (scroll to bottom right corner for language switcher).

FWIW Gitea is still community driven as before, there are yearly elections for the community maintainers for TOC leadership.

disclaimer: I'm one of the project leads of Gitea

Gitee is Chinese. If you're in the US, it's considered a risk because it's Chinese. But people outside the US will not care.

That’s terrible; this shouldn’t be a barrier to using technology.
