Main Forgejo git forge
The main centre of F-hub.org is the git forge utilizing Forgejo. Forgejo is a community driven soft-fork of Gitea, maintained by the non-profit Codeberg.org organisation. Forgejo is entirely Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS).
Once you have an F-hub.org account, you can log into the git forge and your account should have already been automatically added to any organisations (groups) that you mentioned during your account application.
To anyone familiar with Github.com, Forgejo should be relatively easy to navigate as the differences in the UI design are not that large. You can also access any git repositories through the usual http git interface. For security reasons direct ssh git access is disabled.
You can find the full Forgejo user guide here. There is also a nice mobile client for Android that you can install from F-Droid.
Package repositories
Forgejo comes with a built in package repository for various package managers, see the full list of supported formats in the current version 1.20 here. We are currently investigating which formats to enable, given how some of these can be very bandwidth heavy.
Full code search
We are currently in the process of testing the full code search options and open to enable it soon on our Forgejo.
Upcoming federation
Soon Forgejo will be able to federate via the ActivityPub protocol with other Forgejo and Gitea instances. This means that similar to Mastodon etc. you can follow and interact with members of other git forges directly from this website.
