Codeberg e.V. is a German nonprofit organization specialized in open-source software development services.
Services
[edit | edit source]Codeberg provides an online collaborative software development environment with Forgejo, static page hosting with Codeberg Pages, a collaborative translation web platform with Weblate and CI/CD with Woodpecker CI and Forgejo Actions.
Development of the Gitea-fork Forgejo also takes place on Codeberg.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]Codeberg e.V. was established in September 2018 with 7 founding members and launched as Codeberg.org in January 2019.[4] 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.[5] After one month, the Codeberg e.V. organization had 25 members, and Codeberg.org hosted 333 repositories with 379 users.[6]
In 2022, the Software Freedom Conservancy started its "Give up GitHub"-campaign, which included Codeberg as one of the suggested alternatives.[7] In December 2022, Codeberg launched Forgejo, a soft fork of Gitea, in response to a controversial change in direction of the Gitea Project.[8] In February 2024, the Forgejo project decided to hard fork from Gitea,[9] citing reduced maintenance overhead and stability reasons.
As of November 2025, Codeberg hosts over 300,000 repositories and has more than 200,000 registered user accounts.[3][10] At the end of November 2025, the Zig programming language announced moving to Codeberg as "GitHub no longer demonstrates commitment to engineering excellence".[11]
