History

Codeberg e.V. was founded in September 2018 with 7 founding members, and launched Codeberg.org in January 2109. [5] The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members' concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. [6] After one month, the Codeberg e.V. organization had 25 members, and Codeberg.org hosted 333 repositories with 379 users. [7]

In December of 2022, Codeberg launched Forgejo, a soft fork of Gitea, in response to a controversial change in direction of the Gitea Project. [8] In February of 2024, the Forgejo project decided to hard fork from Gitea [9] , allowing for faster development without worry of conflict with Gitea.

As of February 2024, Codeberg has 117,000 projects and 95,000 users. [4]
