Gitea -> Forgejo, e.g.
I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.
Is it "forj-joe"? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
Do you then merge the J sounds to make "forjo"? If so, why not just call it that?
Is it maybe "for-geh-joe"? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the "build < forge" marketing on their website.
I know it's pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don't even know how to pronounce the name of.
Yeah, like the other person mentioned, the origins of the word and its pronunciation are the very first thing in the FAQ on their website. It's pronounced more like for-jey-oh.
Thanks! That’s how I read it as a joke, but why not?
For yay ho would be too much though.
