About Gitea

Gitea is a painless self-hosted Git service written in Go. Created by an active open-source community, Gitea provides all the essential features of GitHub and GitLab—including pull requests, code reviews, issue tracking, CI/CD actions, and package registries—while requiring a fraction of the hardware resources.

Why Gitea Stands Out

  • Blazing Fast & Lightweight: Single compiled Go binary that runs smoothly with sub-second responsiveness on low resource plans.
  • GitHub-Compatible Actions: Drop-in compatibility with GitHub Actions workflow syntax without learning proprietary formats.
  • Frictionless Maintenance: Simple upgrade path, clean database schema, and low maintenance requirements.
  • Complete Package Registry: Host private Docker, npm, PyPI, and Composer packages out of the box.

Gitea Technologies

  • Go Single-Binary Core: Ultra-fast compiled Go backend handling HTTP, SSH, and API requests.
  • PostgreSQL / SQLite Database: Stores user accounts, pull requests, issue boards, and activity feeds.
  • Gitea Act Runner: CI/CD execution engine compatible with standard Docker action containers.
  • Standard Git Protocol: Native Git CLI compatibility over OpenSSH and HTTPS.
