Abstract: Software development and data curation or analysis share many of their issues: keeping track of the evolution of files – ideally with information on how, why, when, and by whom –, organizing collaboration with multiple people, keeping track of known issues and other TODOs, discussing changes, making versions available to others, automating tasks, and more. Often you will even have to write code as part of a data project, blurring the line between the two even more. In the free and open-source software development world these issues already have well established solutions: a version control system keeps track of your projects history and ongoing development, a forge can serve as a collaboration hub, CI/CD services provide flexible automation. So, why not apply them to our data management needs? Forgejo-aneksajo does just that and extends Forgejo with git-annex support, making it a versatile self-hostable (meta-)data collaboration platform that neatly fits into a data management ecosystem around git, git-annex and DataLad.
