Since the link doesn't really tell you what it is, this is a self hosted Git service written in Go. It looks a lot like GitHub.

I've used gitea for years in my homelab - so far great for my non-exterprise needs.

Really excited for Gitea Actions!! Will probably look into switching from GitHub now. Wasn't a fan of drone or having to maintain the integration with a separate CI/CD system.

For info: there was some drama a while back [0], [1] and some (a lot?) of the community/devs went to https://forgejo.org/

Seemed to me like they had a point and it's worth considering following that project [2] instead.

very excited about Actions. For several months I've been using a home server Gitea for a Unity project version control, because the project size is far too large for github/gitlab etc.

So far everything about it has been excellent, and it's only getting better!

As a novice at self-hosting, I previously attempted to use it, but got stuck as I didn't understand MySQL, and learning it just for Gitea was too much. However, I've had some progress with with another database recently, so I would like to give Gitea another try soon.

Will be interesting to compare the velocity between the two. Can a community fork keep pace and possibly even innovate more than the commercial upstream?

There have been a few cases of open source collectives/coops that do what Gitea does but distribute the profits to contributors equally, wonder if any of those have reached sustainability.

What are the current thoughts on Gitea vs Forgejo? I'm thinking of migrating from a self-hosted Gitlab to one of them in the near future. The way Gitea was taken over leaves a bad taste in my mouth so I'm leaning towards Forgejo, but it's not really clear to me if that's the right choice.
