Gitea is a lightweight, open-source, self-hosted Git service that provides repositories, pull requests, code review, and issue tracking in a single easy-to-run binary. It is community-driven and resource-efficient, popular for teams and individuals who want to host their own code without heavy infrastructure. It includes Gitea Actions for CI/CD and a built-in package registry for many formats, and supports authentication via OAuth2, OIDC, and LDAP. The software is free and open-source; a managed Gitea Cloud option is also offered. It is self-hostable by design.
