Isn't this a spin-off of gogs?

I still need to convert.

Skip it and go right to forgejo : it's the current tip of the iceberg.

The majority of maintainers stayed with Gitea. Forgejo is not the tip, they still pull the majority of their commit from gitea directly.

Maybe, depends on the migration path. Gitea proved impossible to migrate to.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Could you not just push a git repo?

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It was even easier. I'm over on forgejo, works.

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sure, but then I'd have to remove gogs 1st after exporting everything. It's not a lot of data, but loads of repos. For me there was no reason to migrate (yet).

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently. When I wound up choosing Gitea for my own purposes, I don't recall even learning about Gogs somehow.

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I picked gogs before I knew about the gitea fork. (Maybe even before the fork)
