Community-driven platform for collaborating on software development projects
About Phorge
Phorge is a free, open source, community driven fork of Phabricator: a suite of integrated web applications for software development teams. It combines code review, repository hosting and browsing for Git, Mercurial and Subversion, bug and task tracking, project management and a wiki in one self-hosted portal. Organisations that want full ownership of their data use it to collaborate on, organise and review development projects at scale without per user fees.
