Codeberg is a non-profit, community-run Git hosting for free and open-source projects. It handles non-profit, gitea-based, pages, and woodpecker ci, and it's best suited for open-source projects wanting non-corporate git hosting. It has been around since 2019, giving it a 7-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.

The core product is entirely free. Since it's open-source, you can self-host for free with no user limits.

pros

  • Open source and transparent
  • Includes Non-Profit as a core feature, purpose-built for version control workflows
  • Fully open-source — you can self-host, audit the code, and avoid vendor lock-in
  • The core product is free with no paywalled essentials

cons

  • May lack some advanced features
  • Self-hosting is free but requires server maintenance and DevOps knowledge
  • Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
  • Large binary files (videos, PSDs) are still a pain to manage in Git-based systems
