Gitea is a self-hosted Git service written in Go: repositories, issues, and pull requests on your own server.

Hosts Git repos with code review, issues, wikis, and a package registry, plus Gitea Actions for CI using GitHub Actions-style workflows. Ships as a single binary or Docker image and runs on modest hardware.

Teams, homelabs, and organizations that need source hosting inside their own network or under their own administrative control.

What are the best alternatives to Gitea?
