        Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects. Codeberg is maintained by the non-profit organization Codeberg e.V., based in Berlin, Germany. For them, supporting the commons comes first. They are more than just Git hosting: their community is comprised of like-minded developers, artists, academics, hobbyists and professionals. No tracking. No third-party cookies. No profiteering. Everything runs on servers that they control. Your data is not for sale.

        Codeberg is an organization that provides a Gitea instance for public use. I think their ToS only allows using their service for free software projects, but you should check that before doing anything with this info.

        Gitea is an open source code forge. It is very similar to Github, both by the looks, and because it uses a build automation system (almost?) totally compatible with Github actions. It also has a quite unique feature, repo migrations, that can periodically “import” the git repo, and platform specific things like issues, MRs, releases and such too but only on the initial migration currently. Some use the periodic part for archiving git repos from elsewhere that they have found useful.

          Note: Gitea owners decided to give a f…k about free software, so the community-based fork is now Forgejo.

            While I’ve been considering the switch, for anyone newly reading this, there is bias. Gitea claims the company they formed will not build enterprise-only features, and exist solely to charge for support contracts. In nearly a year since, this has been true, and Forgeja appears to be a soft fork unless that changes. Plenty of open source companies exist, you may even be posting from one.

              Oh fine then. So, just like Micro$oft VSCode and Codium.

              I am posting from open-source software built by nonprofit organizations, like Mozilla Firefox. The Linux Kernel seems also to be developed by a legal entity. So, maybe it also counts?

              P. S. And yeah, I’m using a distro made by a for-profit company (that one with an X logo but not that one)

                    You stating “for-profit company” should have been a hint that I could not possibly have beeen correct. I should read better. 😆
