Gitea

If you're looking to self-host a Git service of your own, finding a suitable tool for the job can be a tricky task. Fortunately, by providing a relatively easy-to-operate solution, Gitea serves to make life easier for developers in that regard. Through the software, users can self-host their code without much fuss via this lightweight, cross-platform piece of software.

Users have multiple choices with regard to hosting their code: you can run the binary for your platform, use Docket and ship it that way, or go the package installation route. Either way, the tool provides a quite hassle-free way for users to start handling their repositories by themselves.

After setting up the server and connecting to the localhost address, you can commence with the initial configuration: set a database type, name your host, specify authentication credentials, and tweak the ports, URLs, and paths for everything on your server. You can also configure email settings, as well as a suite of server and third-party service options

The test instance works well to provide users with visuals on how the solution handles self-hosting in a real environment. You can browse the sample repositories, look through their code, issues, pull requests, releases, and so on, just like on GitHub.
