Gitlab was always for profit.

And forgejo doesn't have feature parity at all with gitlab. Neither does github, for that matter.

Just take a look at how to push container images from a cicd pipeline in gitlab vs. Forgejo.

What’s the difference?

Pushing images is a oneliner.

In gitlab, yes (well, two lines, login then push). In forgejo, there is no cicd token that gives you scoped access to the built in container registry. You must create a long lived token and add it as a secret to the repo you want to push from.

> We recommend Codeberg/Forgejo now since it is better in every way...

Lol.

> ...and Gitlab went corpo.

How else will they sustain/maintain such a product and compete with the likes of GitHub? With donations? Good luck.

Are those any better than self-hosted gitlab, or do you only mean central-hosted usage?

Codeberg is central hosted so I think they mean in general.
