Gentoo now has a presence on Codeberg, and contributions can be submitted for the Gentoo repository mirror at https://codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo as an alternative to GitHub. Eventually also other git repositories will become available under the Codeberg Gentoo organization. This is part of the gradual mirror migration away from GitHub, as already mentioned in the 2025 end-of-year review. Codeberg is a site based on Forgejo, maintained by a dedicated non-profit organization, and located in Berlin, Germany. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this move possible!
These mirrors are for convenience for contribution and we continue to host our own repositories, just like we did while using GitHub mirrors for ease of contribution too.

I must have been living under a rock, because I didn’t even know that codeberg existed. I’ve just created an account there, added my ssh key, and successfully pushed a project there. Will be migrating as much as possible (focusing on code that might actually be interesting to others) over the weekend. Thanks!
I cannot understand why anyone kept a github account after it was bought, yet participation skyrocketed.
Good question. For a similar reason people keep using corporate-owned social media, I suppose?
Oh Finally! GitHub is owned by microslop and this is no good.
This is big. But also very important. You could say it’s big and important.
I only use Gentoo during the cold periods to keep my feet warm. /s
To be serious: I hope Codeberg is able to keep up with the increased traffic and computing power required with the influx of the new projects.
If NixOS should decide to switch the nixpkgs repo, this would mean serious business:
- nixpkgs contains 120k packages
- Hydra as CI/CD for automated building of packages
- Storage for 150TB of binaries
- NW bandwith and maybe redesign into global distribution networks needed
I highly doubt that Codeberg would be a valid alternative platform in terms of storage, CI/CD capabilities or raw computing power.
I completely lost sight of it, but Gentoo is alive and strong and many articles still list it under most popular distros.
Codeberg is a good choice - definitely way better than Github.
