KalciferWhat is the current state of implementing Federation in Gitea?
Do you have a link to the year-old info for context? I’m curious why people would be interested in federation of a DVCS like Gitea et al?
git is distributed. but not issues, pull requests, forks… I think federation would provide all or most of that.
[FEAT] implement federation
Update June 2024: this issue is no longer updated. Progress on federation can be followed from: * The [monthly reports](https://forgejo.org/tag/report/) * [Issues](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues?labels=79349) and [pull requests](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls?labels=7934...
NekuSoulHad a hard time finding any recent information either, but with the recent release of 1.20 I’ve noticed that an Activitypub endpoint got added in the API and that permissions for it can be added to tokens. Seems very rudimentary so far though.
forgejo (gitea fork) should have federation i heard

HousePantherI’d rather use forgejo than gitea anyway.
m3adowDidn’t Gitea fork from gogs? What’s the goto lightweight (so no Gitlab) self-hosted Git host nowadays? Difficult to keep track.
No, Forgejo dorked feom Gitea
Yes, Gitea is a hard-fork of Gogs and started years ago. Forgejo is a soft-fork of Gitea when the primary authors of Gitea created a company of the same name to provide paid support (there’s history there you can look up) but Gitea remains free and open source. Forgejo, supported by Codeberg, is a community fork and will upstream to Gitea.
Gitea/Forgejo is a great option, they recently even added build actions which are compatible with Github Actions.
The ActivityPub extension ForgeFed for federation between different servers is not finished yet. AFAIK Forgejo contributors work closely together with other ForgeFed devs to bring it forward.
