Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Gitea and what they use it for.
  • Beware Offers of “Help” with Your Projects
    This reminds me of Gogs [0], where the original author refused a lot of good ideas and improvements, eventually leading to a fork [1] that's now a lot more popular and active than the original. [0] https://gogs.io/ [1] https://gitea.io/en-us/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Incident with Issues and Pull Requests
    Yes, we do this using https://gitea.io/en-us/ on a private server. Firewall, backups and a replica running for most projects. Github is only used when it's required by a stakeholder. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
  • Let's Make Sure GitHub Doesn't Become the Only Option
    There's a number of places out there, some of which also support alternatives to Git itself. By no means a complete list and in no particular order: GitLab - https://about.gitlab.com/ Sourcehut - https://sourcehut.org/ Codeberg - https://codeberg.org/ Launchpad - https://launchpad.net/ Debian Salsa - https://salsa.debian.org/public Pagure - https://pagure.io/pagure For self hsoted options, there's these below... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
  • If you're on DSM 6 and still waiting for an update on the GitLab package, don't bother
    And if you need GitLab (for runner, etc...) then it's not too bad to run in Docker. But if anyone is looking for a somewhat simpler git solution, gitea is pretty great. Source: 12 months ago
  • OpenBSD Upgrade 7.2 to 7.3
    Check: Configuration and syntax changes and Special packages. The latter includes changes on PostgreSQL, Python and Gitea. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • How do you stay "online"?
    Personally, I run a Gitea server as our enterprise GitHub doesn't allow personal repos. This is run on an in-office desktop. I have a laptop which I use to WFH, and the desktop is my main hub. I connect to the desktop with Visual Studio Code SSH server, so even compiling is done remotely. So my office PC being always on is critical even ignoring the self-hosted Git client.

  • Youtube-dl Hosting Ban Paves the Way to Privatized Censorship
    Something like https://gitea.io/en-us/ ? Source: about 1 year ago
  • How would I go about doing *free* remotely hosted version control with git and binary files? Or is there an alternative?
    I use gitea (free) on my own server (5€/month). If you don't mind a bit sysadmin stuff setting it up and/or want full control over your data, it might be worth it. Source: about 1 year ago
  • This is my BIGGEST problem coding - can you help me?
    There are a couple of self-hosted Git services, I think Gitea is pretty popular. Source: about 1 year ago
  • GitLab Raises Prices for Premium Customers by More Than 50 Percent
    Gitea is actually very good. https://gitea.io/en-us/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Git as a Beginner
    GitHub is Microsoft's privately owned service that provides hosting and other features for Git repositories. There are other services which provide comparable services: GitLab, BitBucket.. You can also self-host such a service (Gogs, Gitea..). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Just finished migrating my old tower servers to a Kubernetes cluster on my new rack!
    For general development, I still run old server licenses of Atlassian Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Bamboo. Though I am planning on migrating to Gitea, Woodpecker, Tiaga, and Bookstack eventually. Or the Jetbrains suite. Not sure yet. For my CI pipeline, I plan to use Act in my runners to enable me to use GitHub actions locally. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Production Twitter on One Machine: 100Gbps NICs and NVMe are fast
    And it's probably going to be hosting a Gitea instance soon as well. Source: over 1 year ago
  • My Workflow
    I also have the source codes stored on my own server where I host Gitea. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • Can anyone suggest a way of serving rendered (HTML) Markdown files on a server?
    You could use Gitea (https://gitea.io/en-us/). It may be overkill for the task, but it is extremely easy to setup and has a imho. Good Markdown renderer. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Elon Musk dissolves Twitter's board of directors
    Https://gitea.io/en-us/ (some drama right now). Source: over 1 year ago
  • GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code
    Gitea is very nice: https://gitea.io/en-us/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Easiest way to setup a file server (linux)
    Finally you get to how you will be hosting your software. You don't mention what kind of software you are hosting. It sounds like its code-based so you might look at something like gitea. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Suggestions to a home server on a raspberry pi
    Look into https://gitea.io/en-us/ for a lighter option or gitlab to have CI too. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Private Repository, custom links?
    There's really no need to write your own git frontend just for that. It seems like you already have a running webserver. Check out cgit or gitea, both are small and easy to setup, and should allow short repo URLs like git clone git.myDomain.com/navy/project. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Seeking free self hosted develops for git, planning & CI a bonus
    Someone suggested looking at https://gitea.io/en-us/ for git hosting and Drone CI: https://www.drone.io/ - no idea how this looks the pipeline ci yaml looks super easy to get started with. Source: over 1 year ago

Let's Make Sure Github Doesn't Become the only Option
The Pull Request workflow is so dominant now that it’s considered the default path for code to permanently enter into a repository. You can see a similar features in GitHub’s smaller competition Codeberg, GitLab, BitBucket, and Gitea. These competitors don’t offer other, major code collaboration tools, and their Pull Request-like features aren’t just there to help users come from GitHub. They are the only tool....
Gitea - Alternative to GitLab and GitHub
There are still plenty of things you might want centralized on a server somewhere, but it seems like a lot of the value add of GitHub, GitLab, and now Gitea is in making git repos easier to manage and interact with.
