Managed source control service for hosting private Git repositories securely in AWS
Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Painless self-hosted Git service built with Go
Lightweight, self-hosted Git service that runs anywhere Go does. Simple setup, minimal resource requirements, and full repository management with webhooks, wikis, and pull requests.

Gogs is a self-hosted Git service designed for teams and individuals who want GitHub-like functionality without the complexity. Built with Go, it ships as a single binary that runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and ARM devices—including Raspberry Pi and low-cost cloud instances.
Gogs delivers essential Git hosting features: repository management via SSH/HTTP/HTTPS, pull requests, issues, wikis, protected branches, and webhooks for Slack, Discord, and Dingtalk. It supports authentication through SMTP, LDAP, reverse proxy, and GitHub with 2FA. Repository mirroring, Git LFS, deploy keys, and a web editor for quick file changes round out the feature set. The platform renders Jupyter Notebooks and PDFs natively and offers localization in over 31 languages.
With support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite3, Gogs adapts to your infrastructure. A Raspberry Pi or $5 droplet suffices for small teams; 2 CPU cores and 512MB RAM handle collaborative workloads. Install from binary, source, Docker, or platform-specific packages. MIT-licensed and backed by a global contributor community, Gogs prioritizes stability and extensibility over feature bloat.
When teams consider Gogs, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Gogs runs on a Raspberry Pi or 64MB RAM container for basic use. For team collaboration, 2 CPU cores and 512MB RAM is recommended. Scale CPU cores as team size grows; memory footprint remains low.
Gogs supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite3, and any database backend compatible with those protocols, giving you flexibility to match your existing infrastructure.
Gogs prioritizes simplicity and minimal resource usage over feature breadth. It provides essential Git hosting capabilities without the complexity or overhead of larger platforms.
Yes, Gogs supports migrating and mirroring repositories with wikis from other code hosts, making it straightforward to move existing projects.
Gogs offers experimental API support with documentation. While functional, it may not be suitable for mission-critical integrations requiring guaranteed stability.
