What Phorge is

Phorge is a free, open-source platform for software teams to collaborate on and manage development projects. Its core tools include Differential for code review, Diffusion for repository browsing, Maniphest for bug tracking, and Phriction for a wiki. Repository hosting supports Git and Mercurial over SSH and HTTP, and Subversion over SSH. Herald rules can send webhooks for Phorge events, and the Conduit API lets webhook consumers retrieve object and transaction details. Arcanist provides command-line access for code review, linting, and unit-test workflows, and can work with linters and testing frameworks. Phorge is community-maintained software derived from Phabricator, which its site says has been unmaintained since June 1, 2021. It is not a hosted service: users run it on their own infrastructure and retain ownership of their data. The server requires a non-Windows operating system, a web server, PHP, MySQL, and Git; shared hosting is unsupported. The project cautions that Windows-focused development setups may have limited integration with their toolsets.
