I hope that someday they decide to add the diacritic to clear up the confusion (Forĝejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is how it’s supposed to be pronounced). It’s 2024, there’s no reason we should be afraid of non-ASCII characters.
4G-O, like a Star Wars droid
I pronounce it “that gogs fork with a dumb name”.
That gogs’ fork’s fork with a dumb name.
Forgejo is a gitea fork
But yeah, name shenanigans aside, it’s pretty solid. I like it a lot
Forge-joe
According to their FAQ, they say it’s supposed to be pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ and provide an audio clip: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
To me that sounds like “for-jay-oh”.
damn, soft g + not a silent e + German j.
I would’ve pronounced it forge + Joe before this. would have only gotten a third of those things right.
For-jail-o?
Forge, yo
Forge, yo Mr. White!
It rhymes with orange.
I know it’s officially for-hey-oe, but I always say forge + joe cause I find it easier. I used to say “forjo” (like “forge” ending in an “o”, or “for joe” sped up) as well.
Don’t try and start these pronunciation debates online. It might seem fun but sooner or later the chickens will come home to Rust.
i’ll forgejo mama!!!
Forge her? I barely know her!
i think this is the first comment i’ve read since joining the fediverse to make me actually laugh. thank you for posting something far funnier than it had any right to be.
thanks! :)
I pronounce it Forgejo.
I pronounce it as in Esperanto, I speak it
I imagine ‘Forge’ like you pronounce, well, forge, and ‘jo’ like you pronounce Joe*.
*Language and accent differences may apply, but hey, that’s the beauty of the world’s diversity!
For-geh-ho
