Gitea

Developer Tools

Self-hosted, lightweight Git service with built-in CI/CD.

Gitea is a lightweight, community-managed Git service you fully own, offering repository hosting, issues, pull requests, a package registry and built-in CI/CD via Gitea Actions (GitHub Actions-compatible syntax). Its single Go binary starts in seconds and stays light enough to run comfortably on a Raspberry Pi.
