## What it is
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
