Don't listen to the clueless suggesting Gitlab. It's forgejo (not gitea) or tangled, that's it.

> clueless suggesting Gitlab

ad hominem isn't a very convincing argument, and as someone who also enjoys forgejo it doesn't make me feel good to see as the justification for another recommender.

Can you offer some explanation as to why Forgejo and Tangled over Gitlab or Gitea?

I personally use Gitea, so I'd appreciate some additional information.

		From [1] "Forgejo was created in October 2022 after a for profit company took over the Gitea project." Forgejo became a hard fork in 2024, with both projects diverging. If you're using it for local hosting I don't personally see much of a difference between them, although that may change as the two projects evolve. [1] https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

		I'm not OP, but; Forgejo is much lighterweight than Gitlab for my usecase, and was cited as a more maintained version of Gitea, but that's just anecdote from my brain and I don't have sources, so take that with a truckload of salt. I'd had a gitea instance before and it was appealing insofar as having the ability to mirror from or to a public repo, it had docker container registry capability, it ties into oauth, etc; I'm sure gitlab has much/all of that too, but forgejo's tiny, tiny footprint was very appealing for my resource-constrained selfhosted environment.

		GitLab is slow as fuck and the UI is cluttered with corporate nonsense.
