A Codey alternative
with a plan for every team.
Managed Forgejo in the EU. Start small. Go dedicated when you need it.
Codey provides a dedicated, isolated Forgejo instance with full administrator control, European hosting, and package hosting from CHF/EUR 39 per month. gitbuild.dev takes a different route: lower-cost managed Forgejo hosting for self-serve teams, with dedicated managed infrastructure available through Enterprise when isolation and tailored requirements matter.

Por qué los desarrolladores cambian
Tres razones por las que los equipos mueven sus repositorios a gitbuild.dev.
A lower entry point
Codey starts with a dedicated instance. gitbuild.dev starts with a free plan for one private repository and paid plans from €8/mo, so smaller teams can adopt managed Forgejo without paying for dedicated infrastructure before they need it.
Dedicated when it matters
Dedicated hosting is not exclusive to Codey. gitbuild.dev Enterprise provides dedicated infrastructure by agreement, alongside compliance support, tailored controls, and a direct procurement path for larger organisations.
The same open-source workflow
Both services are built on Forgejo and use standard Git. Your repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflow definitions stay on a familiar open-source platform rather than being tied to a proprietary migration path. Action runners are planned for gitbuild.dev but are not available yet.
Cómo migrar desde Codey
Both services run Forgejo. Move the code with standard Git, then import the rest with Forgejo tools.
$ git remote set-url origin https://git.gitbuild.dev/you/your-app.git
$ git push -u origin main
# Hecho. Issues y PRs: usa la migración integrada de Forgejo.
$ _1. Crea tu cuenta
Sign up and verify your email — a Forgejo workspace is provisioned automatically. Enterprise migrations can start with a conversation about isolation and compliance requirements.
2. Traslada tu código
Create the repository on gitbuild.dev, change your Git remote URL, and push — all branches, tags, and history included.
3. Importa el resto
Use Forgejo migration tools for issues, pull requests, releases, and other repository metadata where needed. Recreate any service-specific integrations in Forgejo Actions or webhooks; gitbuild.dev Action runners are planned but not available yet.
