'''Codeberg''' (formerly known as '''TeaHub'''<ref name="launch" />) is a [[collaborative development environment]] centred around {{URL|https://codeberg.org}}, a [[Forgejo]]-based [[Forge (software)|software forge]], and operated by the Codeberg e.V. [[Nonprofit organization|non-profit]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=What is Codeberg? |url=https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Codeberg Documentation}}</ref>

In addition to the core software forge and bug tracker functionality provided by Forgejo, Codeberg has over time introduced related services such as Codeberg Pages (a basic website hosting service for projects hosted on Codeberg), a [[Weblate]] translation server, and a [[Woodpecker CI|Woodpecker]] [[continuous integration|CI]] server.

As of June 2023, Codeberg hosts over 78,000 open-source projects by over 64,000 users.<ref name="about" />

== History ==

After [[GitHub#Acquisition_by_Microsoft|Microsoft's 2018 purchase of GitHub]], a project was created with the working name of '''TeaHub''' by developers Holger Wächtler, Thomas Boerger, and David Schneiderbauer to create a free, public, hosted software forge based on the open-source [[Gitea]] software.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Neue Entwickler-Plattform TeaHub will GitHub beerben |language=de |trans-title=New developer platform TeaHub wants to replace GitHub |work=[[Heise]] |url=https://www.heise.de/news/Neue-Entwickler-Plattform-TeaHub-will-Github-beerben-4078811.html|date=2018-06-15 |access-date=2023-06-30}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=TeaHub - a non-profit code hosting service based on Gitea |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/8vapkh/teahub_a_nonprofit_code_hosting_service_based_on/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Reddit r/opensource}}</ref><ref name="teahub">{{cite web |title=TeaHub |url=https://teahub.io/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180701225445/https://teahub.io/ |archive-date=2018-07-01 |website=TeaHub}}</ref>

In January 2019 the project launched publicly as '''Codeberg'''. A German [[Nonprofit organization|non-profit]] ([[Eingetragener Verein]]) called '''Codeberg e.V.''' was created to administer the project.<ref name="launch" /><ref name="imprint" />

In June 2022 the [[Software Freedom Conservancy]]'s "Give Up Github" campaign (a reaction to the [[GitHub_Copilot#Licensing_controversy|GitHub Copilot licensing controversy]]) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-29 |title=Give Up GitHub! |url=https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=[[Software Freedom Conservancy]]}}</ref> As a result Codeberg gained increased visibility in the open-source community,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-17 |title=Codeberg a GitHub Alternative From Europe |url=https://ruky.me/2022/10/17/codeberg-a-github-alternative-from-europe/ |access-date=2023-06-30}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Akbar |first=Ade Malsasa |title=An Adventure in Codeberg.org - A Review by A Non-Programmer |url=https://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2020/06/an-adventure-in-codebergorg-review-by-a-non-programmer.html |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Ubuntu Buzz}}</ref> and a number of major open source projects migrated to Codeberg.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-04-08 |title=Libreboot Git repositories now on Codeberg (RIP Notabug) |url=https://libreboot.org/news/codeberg.html |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=[[Libreboot]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Gadgetbridge Move to codeberg.org complete |url=https://blog.freeyourgadget.org/release-0_40_0.html |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Freeyourgadget blog}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-20 |title=One year since we moved to CodeBerg.org |url=https://peppermintos.com/2022/09/one-year-since-we-moved-to-codeberg-org/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=[[Peppermint OS]]}}</ref>

In December 2022, Codeberg started hosting [[Forgejo]]<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-12-15 |title=Codeberg launches Forgejo |url=https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html |access-date=2023-01-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=

Shortly after, Forgejo replaced Gitea as the software forge that is the basis for Codeberg services.
