What is it?

Gitea is a self-hosted platform for managing source code and the surrounding development workflow. It provides Git hosting along with code management, code review through pull requests, issue tracking, project kanban boards, a wiki, and team collaboration features in a single service, so teams can run their own alternative to hosted code platforms.

Because it is written in Go, the server builds and runs on every platform Go supports, including Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Windows across x86, amd64, ARM, RISC-V 64 and PowerPC. It can be installed from a binary or deployed with the official container image. The project also includes a package registry and CI/CD that can reuse GitHub Actions workflows.

The project is MIT licensed. Official companion tools include a Go SDK, the tea command-line client and an Action runner, and the documentation site covers installation, administration and development.
