Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home.

Hello, I was thinking of moving all my open source projects here. Anyone have any opinions? Excuse the post if this has been discussed previously, I was unable to find anything directly relating to peoples opinions on using it.

    I like it a lot. Much better UI than GitHub and perfectly reliable and not directly feeding all my code into Microsoft’s license violations. I also recently heard that you can’t search through GitHub repos anymore without an account, so that’s another reason for Codeberg to me.

    Two things to be aware of:

    • They ask you to only put open-source repos on there. Sometimes you might have a repo containing personal configuration, which you should then put up on a different service (or backup locally).
    • CI/CD isn’t as readily available. They’ve been working on an integration with Woodpecker CI. Presumably something like Travis CI would also work. But yeah, honestly haven’t tried getting CI/CD going so far…

      From their terms of service:

      They (private repos) are also allowed for really small & personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage.

      I’d guess that most private git repositories are small enough to fall under this category (unless you track large non-text files in git). This also seems like a very reasonable policy, considering that they’re a non-profit and they want to focus on supporting open source projects.
