Currently? Zero reason.

Lummy, the creator of Gitea, wrote a post about why he moved Gitea over a company.

The TL;DR; is that it allowed Gitea to better work with companies that wanted to fund them but couldn’t fund individuals directly, moved the Gitea trademark to an entity that could outlive the creator, etc.

There hasn’t been any significant changes to how Gitea operates or can be used from a user point-of-view since the change happened.

Forgejo is a fork of Gitea that will pull changes made from Gitea, without being a company. In the events that Gitea goes to shit, it’ll be there as a replacement.

Interesting read. Thanks for the extensive comment. I’m a bid baffled that I missed the announcement myself as I maintain the instance I use at work as our git reposity, main issue tracker, and internal package feed. So I try the follow the blog. But life is busy.

Forgejo is a community-run soft fork of Gitea created when Gitea became a corporation a couple months ago
