Automatic token

Execution

Forgejo does not run workflow jobs; a separately installed and configured Forgejo Runner fetches and executes them.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

Feature availability

Actions is enabled by default as of Forgejo v1.21, but an instance administrator can disable it.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

GitHub Actions

Forgejo Actions is designed to feel familiar to GitHub Actions users, but it does not claim full compatibility and workflows may need changes.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

Reusable workflows

A workflow can call another workflow, and actions are reusable procedures used in CI workflows.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

Runner choice

Administrators can connect multiple runners to one Forgejo instance to distribute jobs across available compute resources.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

Runner security

Secrets

Repository, user, and organization secrets are stored encrypted in the Forgejo database and made available to workflows.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

Storage limits

Job logs expire after a configurable delay that defaults to 365 days, and artifacts default to 90 days.Read 11 Oct 2026 · forgejo.org

Triggers
