  2. Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge. Easy to install and low maintenance, it just does the job.
    There's also the gitea fork https://forgejo.org/ to consider if the reasons for the fork (FAQ) speak to you. Now I don't think this is a good idea, but since you specifically said as lightweight as possible I just wanted to mention it- Running <i>just</i> a git server is absolutely the most lightweight possible solution. You just need git and ssh, that's it. It's compatible with every normal git client, and does all the normal git stuff. This is how I manage my smaller personal projects (running on a raspberry pi), and it works fine for a single person. There's no CI/CD. No Pull Requests, no web GUI, none of the niceties of any of the options mentioned here. However if it's really very lightly used, and by technically inclined people, it may be an option.
