Are you using an existing forge package (like eg Forgejo which codeberg is built on) or something custom?

Custom-built on top of libgit2.
Not trying to be dismissive/snarky... But why?
I started developing it as a slim wrapper around Git to support my own needs. At the same time, it is essential to have rich features like pull requests/code review, so I started focusing on designing a tool that strikes an appropriate balance between being minimalistic and functional. One thing that I focus on is allowing users to disable any feature they don't need.
