More features that are preparing for full federation support! Exciting!

    What are some benefits of a vcs being federated?

    I imagine ability to fork, comment, open an issue or a merge (pull) request, do a code review etc from an account on one instance to a project on another. That would enable true decentralisation of software development. It was one of the original promises of Git, but was lost with the emergence of GitHub. With such federated network of forges each developer, or a group working on a project, could run their own server and collaborate with anyone else, without registering accounts on hundreds of services. I'd love that.

    Since I just saw this in the self-host weekly post:

    Do not upgrade to 13.0.0

    Seems like there is a bug and one should use 13.0.1

    See here

    Does Forgejo have any killer features or something that makes it worthwhile for me to switch away from Gitea now?

    The longer you wait the more incompatible and harder to migrate it will get.

    While right now the features have not diverged that much, only Forgejo is working on federation and due to license incompatibility it will not be possible to back-port that to Gitea.

    I know, but I thought it was already too late to simply change the docker image and be done with it. But, you are saying it's still just a drop-in replacement currently?

    By the way you framed you question sounds like you are looking for an excuse to move away from gitea

    It’s like, there if you want it, but you totally don’t have to download. No pressure at all!

    I’m assuming an upgrade is pretty painless. I guess know what I’m doing at work on Monday.
