After [[GitHub#Acquisition_by_Microsoft|Microsoft's 2018 purchase of GitHub]], a project was created with the working name of '''TeaHub''' by developers Holger Wächtler, Thomas Boerger, and David Schneiderbauer to create a free, public, hosted software forge based on the open-source [[Gitea]] software.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Neue Entwickler-Plattform TeaHub will GitHub beerben |language=de |trans-title=New developer platform TeaHub wants to replace GitHub |work=[[Heise]] |url=https://www.heise.de/news/Neue-Entwickler-Plattform-TeaHub-will-Github-beerben-4078811.html |date=2018-06-15 |access-date=2023-06-30 |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630121028/https://www.heise.de/news/Neue-Entwickler-Plattform-TeaHub-will-Github-beerben-4078811.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=TeaHub - a non-profit code hosting service based on Gitea |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/8vapkh/teahub_a_nonprofit_code_hosting_service_based_on/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Reddit r/opensource |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630121028/https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/8vapkh/teahub_a_nonprofit_code_hosting_service_based_on/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="teahub">{{cite web |title=TeaHub |url=https://teahub.io/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180701225445/https://teahub.io/ |archive-date=2018-07-01 |website=TeaHub}}</ref>

Codeberg (formerly known as TeaHub[4]) is a collaborative development environment centred around codeberg.org, a Forgejo-based software forge, and operated by the Codeberg e.V. non-profit.[5]

In addition to the core software forge and bug tracker functionality provided by Forgejo, Codeberg has over time introduced related services such as Codeberg Pages (a basic website hosting service for projects hosted on Codeberg), a Weblate translation server, and a Woodpecker CI server.

As of June 2023, Codeberg hosts over 78,000 open-source projects by over 64,000 users.[3]

History

After Microsoft's 2018 purchase of GitHub, a project was created with the working name of TeaHub by developers Holger Wächtler, Thomas Boerger, and David Schneiderbauer to create a free, public, hosted software forge based on the open-source Gitea software.[6][7][8]

In January 2019 the project launched publicly as Codeberg. A German non-profit (Eingetragener Verein) called Codeberg e.V. was created to administer the project.[4][2]

In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy's "Give Up Github" campaign (a reaction to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.[9] As a result Codeberg gained increased visibility in the open-source community,[10][11] and a number of major open source projects migrated to Codeberg.[12][13][14]

In December 2022, Codeberg started hosting Forgejo[15][16], a software fork of Gitea. Shortly after, Forgejo replaced Gitea as the software forge that is the basis for Codeberg services.

Rececption

Ade Malsasa Akbar wrote in a review for ubuntubuzz.com that he believed anybody from the FLOSS community would be interested in Codeberg, especially those who were prepared to quit GitHub.[17]
