#Forgejo's a Git-based software forge that's been gaining a lot of traction lately. It's open source, privacy-respecting, and easy to run on your own servers (sound familiar? 😉). The Dutch government chose it for their new open source hosting platform: www.opensourceforu.com/2026/04/dutc...

GitHub has had 31.9 days of downtime so far this year (according to red-squares.cian.lol). If you're tired of being blocked, try Review Board. You can still keep your code hosted on #GitHub but move your reviews to Review Board, hosted in your network or by us.

Pricing

On-prem plans include monthly or annual payment options, with multi-year discounts available. RBCommons plans are month-to-month.
