From what I understand, it’s a lot more lean. The memory requirements are significantly less, last I reviewed.

#6What's the value add of this over GitLab?
Easier to deploy. Compile to a binary, just run it.

#7How does this compare to GitLab?
I was also wondering this, plus kind of expecting it to be hosted on gitea. Being hosted on github lowers my confidence.

Gi-tea or Git-tea seem right, considering the logo is a cup of tea.

Depends on what you need. Gitea has no CI like Gitlab.
Besides that it is a lot less resource hungry.

We used to use Gitea, compare to Gitlab:
- uses less resources, a 512MB VM is enough for a small team. Meanwhile Gitlab requires at least 4GB IIRC. - is easier to setup, just a single binary file.
Everything else, it can't compete with Gitlab.
I'm using it as my personal Git server, works pefectly for 1 user.
