What is Gitea?
Gitea is a painless self-hosted Git service. It is similar to GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab. Gitea is a fork of Gogs. See the Gitea Announcement blog post to read about the justification for a fork.
Purpose
The goal of this project is to provide the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
With Go, this can be done platform-independently across all platforms which Go supports, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. You can try it out using the online demo.

System Requirements
- A Raspberry Pi 3 is powerful enough to run Gitea for small workloads.
 - 2 CPU cores and 1GB RAM is typically sufficient for small teams/projects.
 - Gitea should be run with a dedicated non-root system account on UNIX-type systems.
- Note: Gitea manages the 
~/.ssh/authorized_keysfile. Running Gitea as a regular user could break that user's ability to log in. 
 - Note: Gitea manages the 
 - Git version 2.0.0 or later is required.
- Git Large File Storage will be available if enabled and if your Git version is >= 2.1.2
 - Git commit-graph rendering will be enabled automatically if your Git version is >= 2.18
