Gitea is a Git repository hosting platform that you can host yourself (or use a managed variant). It offers the core features of version control (with Git) plus issue tracking, pull requests, package registry, CI/CD workflows and team collaboration.
If you want to avoid vendor lock-in (e.g., with GitHub or GitLab), want full control of your infrastructure (on-premises or in your cloud), or need a lightweight, cost-effective solution for Git + collaboration — Gitea offers a strong alternative. It enables you to host unlimited repos/users in the open-source edition, save on SaaS fees, and tailor the environment to your team.
