      I’ve been doing so many German lessons, I just say what I see. But it’s confirmed on the FAQ

      Where does the name come from?

      Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.

  This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.

  They have a pronunciation guide in their FAQ on the website. There is no branding that would be obvious/intuitive to everyone

    There is def stuff that could be better though.

      There is no better. Maybe they pick a name that's more intuitive for you, but it'd be less intuitive for someone else.

        Do you believe that there can be no such thing as good or bad branding?
