What is GForge?

GForge is a DevOps and project management platform offering tools for tickets, code, documentation, and collaboration. Available as both cloud-hosted SaaS and on-premise installation, GForge supports air-gapped networks and offline deployment - making it a fit for defense contractors, aerospace companies, and other organizations with strict security or compliance requirements.

Core Capabilities

  • Project Management: Customizable trackers support Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or traditional methodologies. Sprint planning includes velocity tracking and burndown charts. Milestones and releases provide deadline visibility across the portfolio.
  • Source Code Management: Full support for Git and Subversion (SVN) repositories with integrated code reviews, pull requests, and a promotion model that tracks deployments across development, staging, and production environments.
  • Documentation: Built-in wiki for technical specifications and team guides, plus version-controlled document management for project plans, meeting minutes, and deliverables.
  • Team Collaboration: Integrated chat with real-time activity streams, @mentions, and full search across all archived conversations.
  • CI/CD Integration: Jenkins integration automates builds and deployments within existing workflows.

Deployment Options
GForge is available as a cloud-hosted SaaS solution or as an on-premise installation. The on-premise option supports air-gapped networks and offline environments, making it suitable for organizations with strict security or compliance requirements, including defense contractors and aerospace companies working under ITAR or CMMC frameworks.

Pricing
The first five users are free on both SaaS and on-premise deployments. Pricing starts at $6/user/month with all features included—no separate pricing for add-on modules.

Technical Details
GForge provides a REST API for custom integrations. The platform runs on any systems that support Docker or Podman and supports standard enterprise infrastructure. Organizations currently using Jira, GitHub, GitLab, or Atlassian products can migrate existing data with assistance from the GForge team.

Use only the features you need. GForge lets project administrators enable or disable task tracking, source control (Git or SVN), wiki, documents, builds, and releases at any time. GForge scales up or down with your project - without losing data.
Track sprint progress with visual burndown charts and estimated completion dates. See remaining tasks by assignee, monitor velocity, and keep releases on track - all integrated with your trackers and milestones.
See what everyone is working on at a glance. The standup view shows each team member's to-do and in-progress items alongside a real-time activity stream - replacing the need for daily status meetings or separate standup tools.
Filter and sort issues by milestone, priority, status, assignee, or any custom field. Save filtered views for quick access to the tasks that matter most - whether that's your current sprint backlog, high-priority bugs, or items awaiting assignment.
Visualize workflow with drag-and-drop Kanban boards. Cards move through customizable status columns as work progresses - switch between Kanban and list views with one click.
Every issue captures the full picture: priority, status, custom fields, file attachments, and linked commits. A complete change history shows who changed what and when - providing full traceability from request to release.
Full support for both Git and SVN repositories. Manage branches with customizable promotion models, review code with pull requests, and perform web-based merges - all linked directly to your tracker items for end-to-end traceability.
