Gitly is a lightweight, self-hosted GitHub/GitLab alternative written in V, distributed as a single sub-1 MB binary with compiled templates. It supports git hosting with multiple users and repos, git push, and planned CI/CD features, backed by PostgreSQL or SQLite.

Use cases

  • self-host a lightweight github alternative
  • host private git repositories on a cheap vps
  • replace gitlab with a minimal low-memory git server
  • run a code hosting platform without javascript
  • compare binary performance across commits in ci

When to choose

  • you want an extremely lightweight git hosting server with minimal ram usage
  • you prefer a single-binary deployment with no javascript requirement
  • you want to use or showcase the V language

When to avoid

  • you need pull requests, ssh access, or other mature forge features
  • you need a production-ready, battle-tested platform
  • you want a large ecosystem of integrations and plugins
