By ‘Git instances’ they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

    Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve “federation” by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn’t suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it’s distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

      no, forgejo doesnt have “all that”. you are totally missing the point. git is federated, of course, but the added features of forgejo or any other known git forge is not (yet).

        concept of users, write permissions, or authentication

        collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc

        Forgejo has those, yes.

              seems right. actually you were just not responding to the questions of anyone in this chain, but always responding with irrelevant things. and thanks for the downvotes! please bring some more.

      Well but distributed != federated. Which is why Forgejo is currently working on a federation feature.
