## Codeberg vs. Forgejo
[Forgejo](https://forgejo.org) is self-hostable free software for software development, built on top of Git. Codeberg is powered by Forgejo, which is in turn a soft-fork of Gitea. Compared to Codeberg, Forgejo is not one service, but free software to help you build your own. Everyone can install their own Forgejo instance to host their own projects. There are also public Forgejo instances as well as Codeberg you can use, but make sure you find a site that is actively maintained and updated, and that you trust the provider.

The codebase history of Forgejo and its predecessors predates Codeberg.
However, since 2022, [Codeberg is backing the development of Forgejo](https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html) as an umbrella organization.
