Gentoo moves repository mirrors to Codeberg
The Gentoo project now hosts its repository mirror on Codeberg, a Berlin‑based Forgejo platform.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Gentoo has added a presence on Codeberg, providing an alternative mirror for its repository at codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo. The move is part of a gradual migration away from GitHub, following the project's 2025 end‑of‑year review.
Codeberg runs on Forgejo and is maintained by a non‑profit organization in Berlin, Germany. Gentoo encourages contributors to submit pull requests using the AGit approach, which avoids maintaining a fork. Instructions include cloning the upstream URL, adding a Codeberg remote, and pushing changes with specific options for topics and force‑pushes.
The project notes that these mirrors are for convenience and that Gentoo will continue to host its own repositories, as it did with GitHub mirrors.
