Gitea is a lightweight, self-hosted, all-in-one software development platform written in Go, providing Git hosting, code review, issue tracking, project kanban, wiki, package registries, and GitHub Actions-compatible CI/CD. It is a community-driven fork of Gogs designed to run easily on modest hardware across all platforms Go supports.

Use cases

  • self-host a private git server
  • github alternative for my own server
  • lightweight gitlab alternative for small teams
  • run ci/cd pipelines with github actions workflows on-premise
  • host private package registry for npm maven docker
  • manage issues and kanban boards for a small team
  • migrate repositories off github or gogs
  • code review platform behind the firewall

When to choose

  • you want full control of your source code on your own infrastructure
  • you need a fast, low-resource git hosting solution for small-to-medium teams
  • you want GitHub Actions-compatible CI without GitHub
  • you need built-in package registries and project management in one tool
  • you must run on unusual architectures like ARM, RISC-V, or PowerPC

When to avoid

  • you need the deep ecosystem, marketplace, and integrations of GitHub.com
  • you require advanced GitLab features like built-in container security scanning or sophisticated SAST/DAST
  • you prefer a fully managed service and don't want to operate any infrastructure
  • your team depends on GitHub-specific features not yet reimplemented in Gitea
