This page can help to sum up the **differences between Phabricator and Phorge** to prevent conflicts or duplicate work.
(NOTE) If you need the philosophical differences, see this page instead: [[ why_migrating_from_phabricator_to_phorge/ ]]
Normal users probably are not interested in this page. This page is internally useful since Phorge often introduces changes not developed by Phabricator. But, sometime Phabricator also introduces unique changes, that could be pulled in Phorge. Some times, we do the same thing but with different approaches.
-----
== In short ==
Phorge has many more bug fixes and features than Phabricator 😎
This page just shows:
- commits that are __only__ present in Phabricator (very few)
- commits that are __somehow__ present in both
So that we can eventually import them in Phorge if we like that.

As you can see, since ~2022, Phacility introduced ~12 commits while Phorge introduced 300+ commits so we indeed strongly suggest to propose patches in Phorge directly.
