Forgejo launched in 2022 as a software fork of Gitea.
Background
In October 2022, Gitea Limited was formed and offered paid services. The commercial ownership model, as opposed to the community/non-profit ownership model, received some resistance and resulted in the Forgejo fork. A major Gitea forge, Codeberg, was also unhappy with the new model and switched to Forgejo.
