According to their FAQ, they say it's supposed to be pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ and provide an audio clip: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
To me that sounds like "for-jay-oh".

damn, soft g + not a silent e + German j.
I would've pronounced it forge + Joe before this. would have only gotten a third of those things right.
I thought it was a play on "forge", I was wrong.
It's the Esperanto word for "forge", according to the FAQ.
Forge, yo
Forge, yo Mr. White!
Don't try and start these pronunciation debates online. It might seem fun but sooner or later the chickens will come home to Rust.
i'll forgejo mama!!!!!
i think this is the first comment i've read since joining the fediverse to make me actually laugh. thank you for posting something far funnier than it had any right to be.
thanks! :)
Forge-joe
On the official page it says that it is pronounced For Jay Yo (at least close enough)
For-hey-ho
Awesome phonetic illustration. You should do a dictionary.
I pronounce it Forgejo.
It rhymes with orange.
Fuhgeddaboutit.
I imagine 'Forge' like you pronounce, well, forge, and 'jo' like you pronounce Joe*.
*Language and accent differences may apply, but hey, that's the beauty of the world's diversity!
forge-hoe?
Fourier eaux
For-jeh-joe. Forge-joe?
I think I mispronounce it, "Forgeio," to be honest.
Surprisingly, I mispronounce it exactly like that.
I just do the Swedish accent thing and pronounce it forge-yo (like in yo-yo, not the greeting proclamation)
4G-O, like a Star Wars droid
I pronounce it "that gogs fork with a dumb name".
That gogs' fork's fork with a dumb name.
Forgejo is a gitea fork
But yeah, name shenanigans aside, it's pretty solid. I like it a lot
That "dumb" name is just name in another language 🫠
An invented language that hardly anyone uses. More people speak Welsh then Esperanto and it's exactly as useful.
4G-joe
