There's been a hostile takeover at Gitea and it's now run / owned by a for-profit company. The developers forked the project under the name Forgejo and are continuing the work under a non-profit. See also: Their introduction post and a page comparing the two projects. Feel free to look up more, since I haven't familiarized myself with the incident all that much myself. Either way though, maybe consider using Forgejo instead of Gitea.
That's not what happened at all.
Forgejo is actually the one in the wrong. It's an hostile fork that exist only because 3 devs were mad that they weren't hired by the company created so that the core devs of Gitea could do it full time.
You're just repeating their lies.
The Forgejo people never "owned" Gitea.
I made a honest effort, but in the end went back to Git for my personal projects. The advantages Fossil has over Git (wiki, bug tracker) are trivial to emulate with versioned plaintext files, and everything about Git's version control system just clicks with my head. Having years of experience breaking and unbreaking things helps too.
Tho one thing Fossil taught me is to merge by default, not rebase. Rebase when there's good justification for it, and the rest of the time, have an alias for git log --oneline --graph --first-parent (or whatever that was). --first-parent collapses a horrible branchy-mergy history into a linear overview thereof, with details available when needed.
I love love love that Fossil is a single executable.
All in all, the version control wars have ended and git has won. Mercurial is another one I sort of wanna try just to see what it's like.
Re: rebasing, I think squashing / rebasing (in place of merging) is bad but I am also one of the few people I know who tries to make a good history with good commit messages prior to opening a pull request by using interactive rebasing. (This topic is confusing to talk about because I have to say "I don't rebase, instead o rebase" which can be confusing.)
Try its fork forgejo instead.
But check that it has all the features you need because it lags behind gitea in some aspects (like ci).
I'll be that guy: Use forgejo instead, its main contributor is a Non-Profit compared to Gitea's For-Profit owners
Silly question but what is the problem with gitea being for profit?
