It’s a forgejo instance. I don’t know why they don’t just say that.

They do say that. Has the article changed since you read it?

That’s why the Open Source Program Office (OSPO), a division within the Ministry of the Interior, has chosen to opt for Forgejo.

They don't say it up front because it's not too relevant to the article. The key fact is that the government is getting off of Github, not the technology they're switching to, so that's what goes in the headline.

Looks like it did indeed change. I'm glad they now mention forgejo. They are doing terrific work and have evolved a lot since codeberg started using it.

And it is important what the government is doing. If they were writing it from scratch, that would have been a real pity. Luckily, that isn't the case.
