You should follow the official Forgejo Contributor Guide. However it lacks a few useful things, below you can find.

It's recommended to use the devcontainer.

Building

To build, the official instructions generally suffice

Build a single image for multiple architectures:

podman build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --manifest user/repo:tag .

Replace the tag. You can add more architectures, if you wish.

Live reload

TAGS='sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify' make watch

Merge

Make sure you checked out the branch to merge to.

git remote add upstream https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo.git

```
git fetch --no-tags upstream
```
```
git merge upstream/$BRANCH
```

Tag a release

git tag $TAG
git push origin tag $TAG
