    I use Forgejo with LFS for my Blender projects, so this would probably be useful to me if a similar feature were added there.

    As an aside, it seems Blender uses Gitea and not sure they have plans to migrate to Forgejo anytime soon since it looks like they’ve poured a lot of resources into Gitea and even formed a partnership with the maintainers:

    My work self hosts Gitea because Forgejo doesn’t support Windows. While I agree with Forgejo’s decision, it sucks to be basically stuck with an old pre-fork version of the forge I self-host.

    I don’t know a ton about Gitea, but I’ve recently starting looking for a simple git server + decent web UI

    Gitea and Forgejo are the main recommended ones, but they both seem overly complex. (3D File previews?? Who needs that?)

      ForgeJo has been a joy to use over the past few months for me. No regrets.

      I can recommend Forgejo, it’s not overly complex in my opinion. It is what I would call “simple git server + decent web UI” for a home lab or VPN.

      The reason Forgejo was forked was because of Gitea’s focus IIRC, maybe it was stuff like having 3D file previews. It’s not even the worst feature though, I can imagine it’s quite helpful in projects with a focus on 3D data.

      Edit: Just had a look at the reasoning behind forking from Gitea:

      We started Forgejo in reaction to control of Gitea being taken away from the community by the newly-formed for-profit company Gitea Ltd without prior community consultation, and after an Open Letter to the Gitea project owners remained unanswered. The Forgejo project has two major objectives that drive our development and road map:

      1. The community is in control, and ensures we develop to address community needs.
      2. We will help liberate software development from the shackles of proprietary tools.

      Later they announced the hard fork, because

      Simply put, the governance and development models of Gitea and Forgejo diverged over time, and so did their goals. Becoming a hard fork is the culmination of that divergence.
