Code hosting for people who still love code. Free as in freedom, free as in beer.

Push code, ship releases, and serve packages on a platform that stays fast, stays stable, and stays out of your way.

The engine is Forgejo, the diffs come from Pierre, and the mission is simple: a real sanctuary away from GitHub and the rest of big tech.

How We Got Here<br>There was a time when GitHub felt like home: a social network for geeks, a place for genuine inspiration and discovery. Then came the noise.

With tens of millions of new accounts pouring in every year, the OSS community turned into a content farm. Real engineers are drowning in it. The community is no longer recognizable, and no longer navigable.

Taking Action<br>(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

So here's a smaller, quieter place, where creating a repository actually means something again.

No chasing stars and forks. Just an organic network where you find peers worth following and discover software worth running.

That's Upd. Welcome to the new journey. (˘︶˘)

Craftsmanship & Control<br>Built independently, by professionals who love the craft and control every detail. The result is faster, more stable, and better to use: an incorruptible service with a developer experience that respects your time.

Visual Clarity: One of the best diff rendering engines available, paired with TX-02 Berkeley Mono™ for UI readability, arguably one of the best programming fonts ever made.

Beyond Git: Upd isn't just for code archives. It natively serves packages for Go, Rust, Arch, and many other ecosystems directly from your repos.

Resilient Infrastructure: Geo-distributed across US & EU regions, with continuous monitoring, database clusters, multi-layered caching, and robust cloud backups. Fast because it's engineered to be, stable because someone's watching it.

Radical Transparency: We don't just host open source; we are open source. Upd self-hosts its own code. See exactly how it works right here → /upd/upd-forgejo

Best in class: Berkeley Mono TX-02 + Pierre Diffs

On Your Freedom<br>Recently, Codeberg voted to ban «vibe-coded» projects and police how code gets written. We understand the pressure they're under, but drawing a line around how you build is a line around freedom itself.

Upd takes the other side. We will remain a free code hosting platform. Free as in freedom, and yes, free as in beer.

Write your code however you like. Bring your tools, your workflow, your judgment. We host it, we keep it fast, and we don't audit your process.

Our Promise<br>⊹ UPD.DEV ⊹ is a host to many distinct communities, each with its own values and rules.

Therefore, there is no «global Code of Conduct» or «global stance on AI usage».

Please refer to the rules of the specific project you are contributing to.
