Are you a #GitHub or #GitLab (EE) user? Did you ever try to put your code on the side of liberty?
We might have an offer for you: https://Codeberg.org.
Run by a community-maintained non-profit, and funded by your donations!
Not the place you want to work on? Consider joining our missions by using a like-minded project. Learn about alternatives: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#alternatives-to-codeberg
@Codeberg reshared. Thanks, it is wonderful.
@Codeberg Boosted. I love the mission. I wish I can donate but being in a developing country limits my options.
@fundevogel @Codeberg hello, can i have a link to that news? thanks!
@Codeberg We're looking to move to Codeberg as soon as possible! :D
@Codeberg Do you have a 'howto' on moving projects from GitHub?
@alfredbaudisch @Codeberg
We've evaluated FOSS hosting platforms, and options like Codeberg are definitely interesting and part of our <if GitHub went to shit> contingency plan.
But at the current time no alternative would beat GitHub for what a project of the size of Godot needs:
- Huge community (everyone is on GH)
- Feature-packed (Gitea is a bit lacking there)
- Fast (GitLab is so slow)
- Free/cheap CI (we use *a lot* of resources)
@alfredbaudisch @Codeberg I'm rooting for all FOSS options and I use several of them for personal and business projects.
But Godot is just too huge not to be using the de facto standard code hosting platform currently, despite it being proprietary.
GitHub is not just where we code but also where we interact with thousands of users in bug reports and feature proposals. Most of those users wouldn't go to Codeberg or even GitLab.com.

- Gitea is becoming federated soon, plus there's a good amount of people on Codeberg
- I've used GitHub for years and frankly there's not a single big missing feature from Codeberg besides their Actions system
- Codeberg is fast too
- Free CI is offered to certain projects by Codeberg :)
@thatonecalculator @Codeberg @alfredbaudisch Thanks! I appreciate that and I'm really interested in seeing how Codeberg evolves and gets adopted by more medium-sized projects.
But I don't see any project on Codeberg remotely comparable in size and traffic to Godot: https://codeberg.org/explore/repos?sort=moststars&q=&language=
Godot is one of the top 100 most active projects on GitHub:
- 10k forks
- 20-30 PRs per day in average
- ~30 issues per day, hundreds of comments
- ~100 CI runs per day with builds taking in 10m - 1.5h range
@Codeberg Can I mirror my GitHub projects to Codeberg?
@Codeberg I am happy that I can host my projects there in freedom. I also use it for #coding #homework for #University.
