Strong recommend for Forgejo. It’s a community fork of gitea that’s actively maintained by the community and a great open source nonprofit.

It’s actually a drop in replacement for gitea if you are using that now.

Super lightweight. Super snappy, and it supports GitHub Actions style CI/CD.

Big +1 for Forgejo, also they are actively working on implementing Federation, i.e. in the future Forgejo servers will be able to exchange information as a federated network, just like good old Lemmy 😊 If you want to try the toolchain (Forgejo+Woodpecker CI), it's what Codeberg.org (run by the German nonprofit organization of the same name) offers freely.

what’s the benefits of being federated for code?

This will allow you to browse & contribute to projects hosted on other instances without having an account there. Imagine using the GitHub search to find a project on Gitlab, then opening an issue there without ever even leaving GitHub. The protocol is called ForgeFed.
