A feature that’s currently missing from @forgejo (and thus @Codeberg) is the ability to move issues between repositories (see https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/1280).
Thankfully, Benjamin Melançon created Forego Helpers with a move_issue.py script that does this using the Forgejo API. Sadly, the script has a bug in it (a tiny regression introduced during a refactor) and their Forgejo instance doesn’t have signups so I couldn’t create a pull request, so here is a fork for the time being that you can use:
https://codeberg.org/aral/forgego-helpers
While fixing the bug, I also updated the project to use uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) – think of it as a single tool that’s the equivalent of nvm and npm in Node.js that makes Python, well, usable out of the box.
So to move issue #299 from kitten/app to kitten/site on Codeberg, for example, you’d run the following in your terminal:
```shell
uv run move_issue.py kitten app 299 kitten site
```
That will move the issue (including comments), comment on both the old and new issues to link them together, and then close the old issue.
Enjoy!

Would you help me with an issue? Two almost identical #Lenovo #x13 2-in-1 Gen 5: one is able to use the correct screen resolution of an external TFT, the other one not.
Here's what I did so far: https://karl-voit.at/2025/09/14/fix-wrong-34-TFT-resolution/
The only thing with a difference I found so far is within the output of "lspci -v" which lists different capabilities. But I don't know what to do next ...

I'd forgotten how good the Issues comedy shows were. Watching them now reminds me of the topical issues and the politicians and media figures who talked about them;

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.
