Painless self-hosted Git service written in Go
Lightweight, cross-platform Git hosting with code review, CI/CD, package registry, and team collaboration. Deploy anywhere Go runs—Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, and more.
Gitea is a lightweight, self-hosted Git service designed for speed, simplicity, and cross-platform deployment. Written in Go, it runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and supports x86, amd64, ARM, and PowerPC architectures—making it one of the most portable Git solutions available.
Originally forked from Gogs in 2016, Gitea has evolved into a full-featured software development platform. It combines Git repository hosting with code review workflows, team collaboration tools, integrated CI/CD through Gitea Actions, and multi-format package registries (Docker, Maven, npm). Organizations seeking GitHub or GitLab alternatives without vendor lock-in choose Gitea for its minimal resource footprint and straightforward administration.
Development teams, educational institutions, and enterprises deploy Gitea when they need complete control over their source code infrastructure. Whether you're running a single-board computer or orchestrating containers at scale, Gitea adapts to your environment. The project ships as a single binary with optional SQLite support, eliminating complex dependencies while offering PostgreSQL and MySQL compatibility for larger deployments.
When teams consider Gitea, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
