Idea: Move project to Codeberg?
//Thoughts: It can also make sense to use both platforms. Many projects use GitHub for main development and Codeberg for a mirror image or alternative platform. Pros and cons keep ~ the balance.//
| **Criteria** | **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codeberg|Codeberg]]** | **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub|GitHub]]** |
| Philosophy | Non-profit, open source, community-driven | Commercial, MS ecosystem |
| Data protection & hosting | EU/DSGVO-compliant, Germany | predominantly USA |
| Functions & integrations | Basic features (issues, wikis), Gitea ecosystem | Easy entry / many tutorials, issue linking, extensive CI/CD, security tools |
| User base & ecosystem | Small, but growing slowly? Less reach | Huge community |
| Costs | completely free of charge | free of charge for us as we do not use enterprise products |
