Gitea is an open-source forge software package for hosting software development version control using Git as well as other collaborative features like bug tracking, wikis and code review. It supports self-hosting but also provides a free public first-party instance hosted on DiDi's cloud.[3] It is a fork of Gogs[4] and is written in Go.[5] Gitea can be hosted on all platforms supported by Go[6] including Linux, macOS, and Windows.[7][8] The project is funded on Open Collective.[9]

History

Gitea was created by a group of users and contributors of the self-hosted Git service Gogs. Though Gogs was an open source project, its repository was under the sole 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 of 2016 and established a community-driven model for its development.[4] It had its official 1.0 release the following month, December of 2016.[1]
