What is Gitea?

Gitea is an open source, self-hosted Git service written in Go that bundles code hosting, issue tracking, pull request based code review, a package registry supporting more than 20 package formats, and Gitea Actions, a CI/CD system compatible with GitHub Actions workflows. Because it is lightweight, it can run on modest hardware, making it popular with individual developers and small teams who want to self-host their own GitHub-like service.

The core Gitea software is free and MIT licensed for self-hosting. Gitea also sells an Enterprise self-hosted edition with SSO, audit logs, and priority support, and offers Gitea Cloud, a managed hosting option with a 30-day free trial, though Cloud pricing is not published and requires contacting sales.
