A Codeberg alternative
for professional work.
The same Forgejo platform. Run for you, with room for how you actually work.
Codeberg is a fine free home for community FLOSS — and in July 2026 its members voted to ban projects that mostly consist of AI-generated code, alongside cryptocurrency projects. gitbuild.dev is managed Forgejo hosting for professional and commercial teams: the same open-source software, EU-hosted, with no restrictions on how you write your code.
Zij aan zij
De verschillen die ertoe doen wanneer je een thuis voor je code kiest.
| gitbuild.dev | Codeberg | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Forgejo — fully open source | Forgejo — precies dezelfde software |
| Who it is for | Professional and commercial teams, private work | Free, donation-funded community for FLOSS projects |
| AI-generated code | Welcome — no content policy on how you write code | Banned since July 2026 if a project is mostly AI-generated |
| AI-training met jouw code | Nooit — contractueel en technisch verboden | Never — pledged by member vote |
| Private repositories | 1 gratis, onbeperkt vanaf 8 €/maand | Public FLOSS focus; private use is fair-use limited |
| Kosten | Gratis abonnement, betaald vanaf 8 €/maand | Free, donation-funded |
| Business needs | DPA, organisations, support contact | Community service, no commercial terms |
Waarom ontwikkelaars overstappen
Drie redenen waarom teams hun repositories naar gitbuild.dev verhuizen.
Same software, no policy surprises
gitbuild.dev runs Forgejo — the exact software Codeberg runs, stewarded by the same non-profit. Your workflow, migration tools, and muscle memory carry over unchanged; what changes is that you are on a paid service with predictable terms instead of a community policy that can shift with a member vote.
AI-assisted developers welcome
Codeberg's amended Terms of Use prohibit projects that mostly consist of code written by generative AI tools. gitbuild.dev has no such restriction — use Copilot, Claude, Codex, or none at all. What we share with Codeberg is the other half of the vote: your code is never used to train AI models.
Built for private and commercial work
Codeberg is a donation-funded commons for open source, and it is excellent at that. If you need private repositories at scale, team organisations, a DPA, and someone accountable to email, that is what gitbuild.dev exists for.
Zo migreer je van Codeberg
It is the same Forgejo platform — this is the easiest migration there is.
$ git remote set-url origin https://git.gitbuild.dev/you/your-app.git
$ git push -u origin main
# Klaar. Issues en PR's: gebruik Forgejo's ingebouwde migratie.
$ _1. Maak je account aan
Registreer je en verifieer je e-mail — er wordt automatisch een Forgejo-workspace ingericht.
2. Verplaats je code
Change your Git remote URL and push — all branches, tags, and history included. Forgejo-to-Forgejo, nothing to convert.
3. Importeer de rest
Issues, pull requests, and releases can be imported with Forgejo's migration tools from your Codeberg repositories.
Veelgestelde vragen
Veelgestelde vragen over overstappen van Codeberg naar gitbuild.dev.
Did Codeberg ban AI-generated code?
Yes. In July 2026 the members of Codeberg e.V. voted (358 to 144, with 14 abstentions) to prohibit projects that mostly consist of code written by generative AI tools, and the Terms of Use were amended accordingly. The same vote also committed Codeberg to never training AI models on hosted code, and separately banned cryptocurrency projects. gitbuild.dev has no restriction on how you write your code — and likewise never trains AI models on it.
Is gitbuild.dev run by Codeberg?
No. Codeberg is a free community instance run by Codeberg e.V., the non-profit that also stewards Forgejo — the open-source platform both services run. gitbuild.dev is independent managed Forgejo hosting aimed at professional and commercial use: business plans with a DPA, team organisations, and a support contact you can actually reach.
Can I migrate my repositories from Codeberg?
Yes, and it could hardly be simpler — both services run Forgejo. Change your Git remote URL and push, and use Forgejo's migration tools to import issues, pull requests, and releases.
Wordt mijn code gebruikt om AI-modellen te trainen?
Nooit. Jouw broncode wordt niet gebruikt voor LLM-training, model-ingestie of enige vorm van geautomatiseerde analyse die verder gaat dan wat nodig is om de dienst te draaien. Dit verbod is contractueel en technisch verankerd — we hebben geen datadelingsrelaties met AI-bedrijven.
