Best for

Teams that want GitHub-style collaboration on their own hardware with minimal resources.

Why it deserves attention

Gitea runs as a single Go binary and provides repositories, issues, pull requests, code review, wikis, packages, and Actions-compatible CI, with a web UI close enough to GitHub that migration is easy. It is MIT-licensed with 58,000 GitHub stars, runs on modest hardware, and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. It is lighter than GitLab but has a smaller CI and security ecosystem. The hosted Gitea Cloud exists, but self-hosting is the main use case.
