Netherlands deploys Forgejo on code.overheid.nl for government repositories

The Dutch government has rolled out code.overheid.nl, a Forgejo-based platform for hosting public-sector code. Several agencies are already using the service following its April 24 soft launch.

The platform runs on infrastructure managed by SSC-ICT under the Ministry of the Interior. It provides standard open-source collaboration features such as pull requests and issue tracking while keeping all data under national control. The rollout follows the government's earlier announcement of the pilot and forms part of wider European efforts to reduce dependence on foreign hosting providers.
