Codeberg e.V. is a nonprofit organization that provides online resources for software development and collaboration. The organization hosts a Forgejo-based collaborative development environment,[4][5] web hosting through Codeberg Pages, a Weblate translation server, and CI/CD features via Woodpecker CI.

History

[edit]

After Microsoft's 2018 purchase of GitHub, developers Holger Wächtler, Thomas Boerger, and David Schneiderbauer forked software forge software Gitea with a project called TeaHub.[6][7][8]

In January 2019, Codeberg e.V. launched with an initial 25 members and began publishing monthly newsletters on the status of its main project Codeberg.org.[9] The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members' concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.[10] After one month, the Codeberg e.V. organization had 25 members, and Codeberg.org hosted 333 repositories with 379 users.[11]

Reception

[edit]

In 2020, Ade Malsasa Akbar wrote in a review for ubuntubuzz.com that he believed anybody from the FLOSS community would be interested in Codeberg, especially those looking for a GitHub alternative.[12] In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy's "Give Up GitHub" campaign (in response to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.[13] As a result, Codeberg gained increased visibility in the open-source community,[14][15] and a number of major open source projects migrated to Codeberg.[16][17][18]
