Leave MAINTAINERS and the organization (#32820)
## Why join
I didn’t talk about myself before, so some people may think that I am an
employee from the company. So I think it is necessary to talk about why
and how I joined.
At the begining, my boss gave me a task to find a git software which can
self hosted in on-premise. Then I found that there are not many project
which meet our needs. But finally, I found Gitea. A easy use, easy
maintenance, and without a good machine you can also run it.
At that time, I just finished my previous work which is using helm to
deploy something in K8s. So I tried to use Gitea’s helm chart to deploy
in my work PC to see whether we can use it. But soon, I found a bug, and
reported it (https://gitea.com/gitea/helm-chart/issues/382), but after
about 1 month, there’s no fix. So I try to check the source code, and I
found that it is caused by Gitea’s code and it is easy to fix it. So I
created an issue (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/22523) in
Gitea. But unfortunately, after a long time again, it is still not
fixed. So I tried to finish it by myself.
I’m not a pro programmer, coding is just my hobby since I was 13 or 14
years old. (I will tell the reason later), I even don’t know the
workflow about the contribution of OSS, so maybe I did some bad things
at the early time, I apologize.
But the people here are very kind, at that time, I start to consider
whether it has worth to recommend to my boss. So I started to use it,
but I found more and more bugs in a short time. Japanese company is very
sensitive to it, so I gave up to recommend.
But I can try to fix them! Because I can learn too many things during
the contribution, not just about the programing but also the usage of
other tools and the general contribution rule in the world of OSS. It
let me grow up, and to become (maybe) a perfect full-stack engineer
which is my dream. (Why it is my dream? I made a wrong decision in my
college, I took/followed the advice of my parent, choosed communications
engineering instead of computer science which is my favorite thing)
 
# Why leave
Several days ago, there’s an
[article](https://juejin.cn/post/7446578471901626420#comment) came into
my eye. Something about JiHu (GitLab Ltd in China) start to file a
lawsuit to the company which is using GitLab CE version which is under
MIT License. So people start to find other git service/application to
avoid it. And in the this article, a project called Fogejo is mentioned.
It says it is a hard-fork of Gitea. But I don’t know the meaning of
`hard-fork`, so I access the home page of this project to find where it
comes from.
Finally, I found it here:
https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/#why-was-forgejo-created. They
said:
> As of early 2024, Forgejo is developed independently of Gitea, as a
“hard-fork”.

`hard-fork` has a quotation, so the meaning is not the original meaning
of it, but they said `as`, which means `like` or `similar` I think. So
just focus on the words before `as` is ok, because `hard-fork` is a
simile, `As of early 2024, Forgejo is developed independently of Gitea`
is what they want to say.
In my mind, this means:
since early 2024 Forgejo’s codes (new changes) are all written by
themselves, and emphasize that these changes are not related to Gitea,
because they can simply say `As of early 2024, Forgejo is developed
independently, as a “hard-fork”`

But after I check the commit history, I can still find some strange
commits in recent month:

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/commits/branch/forgejo/search?q=author%3Ayp05327&all=
The author is me, but the commit is signed by someone I even never
heard.
Considering the words they said above, it feels/sounds like my work has
become their work. Although Gitea is under MIT license, is this allowed
in the OSS world?
Even it is allowed, I can not accept it personally.
So I created a issue to ask them:
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/6236
https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/251

Finally, it seems that they understood the problem and promised to
improve it. But I also required a public statement to explain it which
means they need to apologize, otherwise it is hard to the users who
believe these are all their work know it, and it seems they ignored some
of my words again? So it is hard for me to believe they will really make
changes and post the apologize. If they did, I will consider to come
back. Otherwise, I think there’s no worth to continually contribute to
any OSS project, so I decided to leave.

ps: TOC voting is still ongoing, please remove me from the list. And I
will leave the organization after the merge.

At the end, thanks to all people who have helped me to finish the
contribution and teach me new knowledges.

Gitea

Contribute with Gitpod

View this document in Chinese

Purpose

The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.

As Gitea is written in Go, it works across all the platforms and architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. This project has been forked from Gogs since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.

For online demonstrations, you can visit demo.gitea.com.

For accessing free Gitea service (with a limited number of repositories), you can visit gitea.com.

To quickly deploy your own dedicated Gitea instance on Gitea Cloud, you can start a free trial at cloud.gitea.com.

Building

From the root of the source tree, run:

TAGS="bindata" make build

or if SQLite support is required:

TAGS="bindata sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" make build

The build target is split into two sub-targets:

  • make backend which requires Go Stable, the required version is defined in go.mod.
  • make frontend which requires Node.js LTS or greater.

Internet connectivity is required to download the go and npm modules. When building from the official source tarballs which include pre-built frontend files, the frontend target will not be triggered, making it possible to build without Node.js.

More info: https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-from-source

Using

./gitea web

Note

If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental support with documentation.

Contributing

Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request

Note

  1. YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
  2. If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!

Translating

Translations are done through Crowdin. If you want to translate to a new language ask one of the managers in the Crowdin project to add a new language there.

You can also just create an issue for adding a language or ask on discord on the #translation channel. If you need context or find some translation issues, you can leave a comment on the string or ask on Discord. For general translation questions there is a section in the docs. Currently a bit empty but we hope to fill it as questions pop up.

Further information

For more information and instructions about how to install Gitea, please look at our documentation. If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.

We maintain a list of Gitea-related projects at gitea/awesome-gitea.

The official Gitea CLI is developed at gitea/tea.
