Codeberg Code Hosting Platform

Codeberg is a non-profit, community-driven code hosting platform built on Forgejo that provides Git repository management, issue tracking, pull requests, wiki pages, and continuous integration for free and open-source software projects. Operated by a registered non-profit organization based in Germany, the platform runs entirely on free software and rejects proprietary dependencies, aligning with the ethical principles of the FOSS movement. Unlike commercial alternatives, there are no feature tiers, no repository limits, and no advertising; all functionality is available to every user at no cost. The service includes static site hosting through Codeberg Pages, a Weblate translation instance for collaborative localization, and a CI/CD system that runs workflows defined in repository files. User data is stored on self-owned infrastructure in the European Union, governed by GDPR compliance and transparent privacy policies. The platform supports SSH and HTTPS for Git operations, offers API access compatible with Forgejo, and provides organization accounts for team management. Repository features include branch protection rules, code review with inline comments, release tagging, issue boards with Kanban-style workflows, and project milestones. The community actively participates through Matrix chat rooms, Mastodon, and democratic governance structures where members can vote on platform decisions. Codeberg has become a popular choice for developers who prioritize software freedom, data sovereignty, and community ownership over venture-backed hosting services.
