Changelog

Notable changes to the Codebahn service. Minor fixes and infrastructure changes are not listed.

2026-08-21

Built-in MCP server. AI assistants connect to codebahn.net/mcp with OAuth. No binary to install; add the URL, approve in your browser, done. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Desktop. See Connect an AI assistant.
GitHub App mirrors. Mirror GitHub repos without managing a token. Install the Codebahn GitHub App, pick repos, and syncs mint short-lived credentials automatically. Existing token mirrors can convert to the GitHub App from mirror settings. See Mirror a GitHub repository.

Forgejo v15.0.6 rebase. Codebahn is rebased on Forgejo v15.0.6, pulling in all upstream fixes and improvements.

Forgejo v15.0.5 rebase. Codebahn is rebased on Forgejo v15.0.5, pulling in all upstream fixes and improvements.
Export archives fully vetted. Organization exports now include pull requests, comments, and reviews. Archives have been tested end to end: export from Codebahn, restore on stock Forgejo. See Export.
Auto-injected bot token for CI. Every CI job receives a CODEBAHN_BOT_TOKEN scoped to the repository, so workflows that need to act as a user work without manual secret setup. See dependency management for a Renovate example, or CI runners for details.
Monokai editor theme. A new syntax theme with auto, dark, and light variants. Set it in Settings > Appearance.

Open signups. Codebahn is open to everyone. No invite code required.
GitHub App import. Import repositories from GitHub by installing the Codebahn GitHub App. Pick which repos to bring over from any organization or personal account. See the migration guide.
CLI OAuth login. The codebahn CLI authenticates via your browser instead of a manually copied token. Run codebahn auth login once and you are set.
Language-specific CI examples (Go, Node, Rust, Python, Ruby, Java) in the CI runners docs.

Personal plan. Individual accounts can subscribe without creating an organization. Post-signup onboarding walks you through billing and your first repo.
Runner sizes. CI jobs can request larger VMs by label. See CI runners for the size table.
Sticky diff header on pull request files: the tab bar and diff stats stay visible as you scroll.
GDPR Data Processing Agreement published at codebahn.net/dpa.

Export a whole organization to a standard archive from Org Settings > Export. One click, no ticket: a tar.gz with org metadata and the full Git history and issues, pull requests, and releases for each repo.
New codebahn command-line tool and MCP server. Manage repositories, pull requests, issues, and CI runs from your terminal, or point an AI coding agent at the MCP server.
CI jobs that never reach a runner now stop after 30 minutes with an explanation, instead of waiting indefinitely.

Invite teammates to an organization by email from the Members page. Team invites onboard people end to end, including through the invite-only alpha signup.
Switch between your organizations from a switcher in the top navbar.

Search across code, issues, repositories, users, and organizations from one search bar. Press / anywhere to open it.

Watch CI logs stream live as a run executes.
Step-by-step import guides for moving private repositories from GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo.
In-app support chat for signed-in users.
Docs site restyled to match codebahn.net.
