 is the lightest full-featured Git hosting platform you can self-host. The current stable release, version 1.25, runs comfortably in under 200 MB of RAM as a single Go binary or Docker container. It covers pull requests with code review, issue tracking, CI/CD through GitHub Actions-compatible runners, package registries for containers and NPM, and bidirectional repository mirroring with GitHub. If you want ownership of your source code without the resource overhead of GitLab, Gitea is the strongest option available right now.</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
