Development of the Gitea-fork Forgejo also takes place on Codeberg.[4]

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.[5][6][7]

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.[8] 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.[9] After one month, the Codeberg e.V. organization had 25 members, and Codeberg.org hosted 333 repositories with 379 users.[10]

As of February 2024, Codeberg has 117000 projects and 95000 users.[4]
