Gitea
Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service with Git hosting, code review, CI/CD, and package registry.
Gitea is a lightweight, open-source, self-hosted Git service that provides a complete software development platform. Written in Go, it offers a fast and resource-efficient alternative to heavyweight proprietary forge platforms.
Key Features
- Git Hosting: Full Git support including LFS, mirrors, and web-based repository browsing.
- Code Review: Pull requests with inline commenting, reviews, and protected branches.
- CI/CD: Built-in continuous integration and deployment via Gitea Actions (compatible with GitHub Actions workflows).
- Package Registry: Host Docker images, npm packages, Maven artifacts, NuGet packages, and more.
- Issue Tracking & Wiki: Built-in project management with issues, milestones, labels, and wiki pages.
- Lightweight: Runs well on minimal hardware, making it ideal for personal servers, small teams, and homelabs.
Gitea is fully community-driven and released under the MIT license, making it a truly free and open alternative to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
