Gitea (/ɡɪˈtiː/) is a forge software package for hosting software development version control using Git as well as other collaborative features like bug tracking, code review, kanban boards, tickets, and wikis. It supports self-hosting but also provides a free public first-party instance.[2] It is a fork of Gogs[3] and is written in Go.[4] Gitea can be hosted on all platforms supported by Go[5] including Linux, macOS, and Windows.[6][7] The project is funded on Open Collective.[8]

History

Gitea was created by Lunny Xiao, who was also a founder of the self-hosted Git service Gogs. He invited a group of users and contributors of Gogs. Though Gogs was an open-source project, its repository was under the control of a single maintainer, limiting the amount of input and speed with which the community could influence the development. Frustrated by this, the Gitea developers began Gitea as a fork of Gogs in November 2016 and established a community-driven model for its development.[3] It had its official 1.0 release the following month, December 2016.[9]

2022

In 2022 [10] Gitea Limited was formed by Lunny Xiao. The company will offer paid services. The commercial ownership model, as opposed to community/non-profit ownership model, received some resistance and resulted in the Forgejo soft fork of Gitea [11].
