What it is

Gitea is a self-hosted Git platform. Go-based, lightweight, runs on a Raspberry Pi, GitHub-like UI, issues, pull requests, packages (container/Generic), actions (CI/CD via Gitea Actions), wiki, releases, and a thriving plugin ecosystem.

Why we recommend it

If you want to self-host Git but don't want GitLab's weight, Gitea is the answer. The UI is familiar (GitHub-like), the resource use is low, and the feature set is comprehensive.
