The point of Github is not so much the repo hosting part (well, that too). The point of Github is

- the nice web UI for browsing code

- the social features (issues, pull requests, reviews)

That's why, after years of Gitolite (i.e. nearly as bare Git hosting as the submission discusses), I've switched to Gogs last year.

Probably worth highlighting the gogs/gitea split: https://github.com/gogits/gogs/issues/1304#issuecomment-1191...

I would guess given that, gitea would be the better road at the moment.

I'm not sure, it looks both are still active.

That's fair enough. There's isn't really a good current state comparison of the two.

It was discussed in January, on HN, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13296717

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I hadn't seen that. Worth reading is the last post in that thread, where Unknwon finally responds.

Agreed, I like having both of your points (plus user management).

Yeah I love Gogs!!

Gogs is fast. Makes Gitlab seem very slow.

I wish I could agree here. I'd love to use Gogs. But it has had a crippling performance issue for big repositories for a while now, and the devs don't seem to prioritize it:

Interesting. Hadn't seen a "don't send pull requests" label before...so I guess they feel that issue has some wide-ranging implications? Which is odd because I can't think why it would...

How do you feel GitLab stacks up?

I don't know. I stopped reading at "Rails app".
