it’s built upon/by the same devs as forgejo, which is open tech to self host your own git server (with federation potentially coming), so supporting one supports the other
Codeberg is a German non profit iirc, I host some stuff there but most is on my personal Forgejo.
The Forgejo devs (mostly centered on Codeberg) are also the ones pushing for federalized code forges (I open a PR on your git server from mine and so on)
Isn't codeberg only for open source code? i.e. you can't have private repos?
No, you can make private repos
what? then why do they do it
To work on it from different devices, use features like issues, basically the same reason people use it for public repos instead of just uploading it as a zip somewhere. Sometimes you have stuff you don't want to release to the public or it's just not ready to release to the public yet.
codeberg
it’s like github but non-corporate free software
it’s very polished and featurful
