Does anyone who’s more on the pulse of stuff than I know if I should stick with Gitea or jump to Forgejo while I can?

I understand that, for the moment at least, Forgejo should be a drop-in replacement for Gitea as they shared codebase for so long…

Anyone have experience that this is the case? What version did you make the switch on? Was it really just a binary/docker container swap on existing database or did you run into any troubles?

I’m at a crossroads where as a casual HomeLab user I don’t really care either way, but if there is a chance Gitea does something that ruins my use of it, I will regret having not switched while it was supposed to be easy. On the other hand, if Gitea remains the stronger choice and Forgejo fizzles out, I will regret leaving it behind. Help me decide? I’m on Gitea 1.21.5, the last “guaranteed” jump point now.

    At home I’ll use Forgejo, but at work I’ll set up Gitea for my department where we are forced to work in a Windows infrastructure.

    I would like to be able to use Forgejo both places.

      My condolences. I hope you find some relief in the future

        Forgejo has no official Windows builds, and since it is not tested on windows at all, it’s not guaranteed to work.
