ForgeFed is an ActivityPub-based federation protocol specification for software forges, enabling interoperable repository hosting, issue tracking, and code review across independent websites. It is a specification project (written in Bikeshed) with JSON-LD context files, not an implementation.
Use cases
- federate git repository hosting across independent forges
- open issues and pull requests on repos hosted on other sites without new accounts
- implement ActivityPub federation in a code collaboration platform
- build interoperable issue trackers and code review tools
- decentralize software development away from centralized forges
- define a common protocol vocabulary for forge services
When to choose
- you are building a forge or code collaboration tool that should interoperate with other forges
- you want decentralized, self-hosted code hosting that stays connected to a wider network
- you need a standard ActivityPub extension for repositories, issues, and pull requests
When to avoid
- you need a ready-to-run forge application rather than a protocol specification
- your project is single-instance and has no federation requirements
- you need a mature, widely deployed protocol with many production implementations today
