Forgejo

Forgejo is a self-hosted Git service forked from Gitea

In the age of computer technology, a lot of people deal with program code or configs. The version control system Git is widely used in order not to get confused with them. You can often find links to centralized git-hosting where the security (and sometimes privacy) of the code is questionable.

Owning your own git hosting allows you to store personal files on a private server. One of the best free (as freedom) git-hosting sites is - Forgejo. It has all the necessary functionality and a convenient web interface.

For servers created before 25.04.2025 Be careful, the first account registered on your instance, gets admin rights.

About SSO integration

  • Users can only log in via SSO
  • Old accounts can still be accessed if you create a SSO user with the same username
  • If an SSO account is granted admin rights, it will also have admin rights in Forgejo

For details, what is SSO and how to use it?

If you want a client with a graphical interface, you can choose it from list of recommendations on the official website.
