The Gentoo Linux project last year announced plans to move their code hosting to Codeberg rather than GitHub. Gentoo’s desire to move away from GitHub was motivated by Microsoft’s Copilot training on GitHub repositories. Those plans are turning into action now with the main Gentoo project up on Codeberg and honoring pull requests.
Gentoo announced today they now have a presence on Codeberg and are welcoming code contributions there as an alternative to GitHub. Initially it’s their ebuild repository being hosted on Codeberg while eventually all Gentoo GitHub repositories will be migrated. Codeberg is based on Forgejo and hosted in Germany as a non-profit.
Eventually Gentoo wants to get rid of its GitHub usage but for now is being treated as a gradual migration with maintaining a presence for now both on Codeberg and GitHub.
More details on Gentoo Linux beginning its Codeberg usage can be found via the news on Gentoo.org.
