I have (almost completely) moved my business from GitHub to Forgejo as well. I’m deploying an instance at home as well.
It’s shocking how bloated and slow GitHub is even for basic actions when you compare it to Forgejo running just your own stuff.
Bonus: if you can manage to reliably backup a database and a filesystem, you can then backup your forge. Outside GH Enterprise there is still no restorable backup option inside GitHub.
This is great to hear! I’ll check it out.
How is it for usability (other than speed) compared to GH. Given that most/all devs are already comfortable in GH. What are the downsides in your experience?
