Gentoo now has a presence on Codeberg, and contributions can be submitted for the Gentoo repository mirror at https://codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo as an alternative to GitHub. Eventually also other git repositories will become available under the Codeberg Gentoo organization. This is part of the gradual mirror migration away from GitHub, as already mentioned in the 2025 end-of-year review. Codeberg is a site based on Forgejo, maintained by a dedicated non-profit organization, and located in Berlin, Germany. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this move possible!

These mirrors are for convenience for contribution and we continue to host our own repositories, just like we did while using GitHub mirrors for ease of contribution too.

Submitting pull requests

If you wish to submit pull requests on Codeberg, it is recommended to use the AGit approach as it is more space efficient and does not require you to maintain a fork of gentoo.git on your own Codeberg profile. To set it up, clone the upstream URL and check out a branch locally:

git clone https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/repo/gentoo.git
cd gentoo
git remote add codeberg ssh://git@codeberg.org/gentoo/gentoo
git checkout -b my-new-fixes

Once you’re ready to create your PR:

git push codeberg HEAD:refs/for/master -o topic="$title"

and the PR should be created automatically. To push additional commits, repeat the above command - be sure that the same topic is used. If you wish to force-push updates (because you’re amending commits), add “-o force-push=true” to the above command.
