# What is Gitea?
Gitea is a painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, it includes Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD. It is similar to GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab.
Gitea was forked from [Gogs](http://gogs.io) originally and almost all the code has been changed. See the [Gitea Announcement](https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/)
blog post to read about the justification for a fork.
## Purpose
The goal of this project is to provide the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting
up a self-hosted Git service.
With Go, this can be done platform-independently across
**all platforms** which Go supports, including Linux, macOS, and Windows,
on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures.
You can try it out using [the online demo](https://try.gitea.io/).

## System Requirements
- A Raspberry Pi 3 is powerful enough to run Gitea for small workloads.
- 2 CPU cores and 1GB RAM is typically sufficient for small teams/projects.
- Gitea should be run with a dedicated non-root system account on UNIX-type systems.
- Note: Gitea manages the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file. Running Gitea as a regular user could break that user's ability to log in.
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/) version 2.0.0 or later is required.
- [Git Large File Storage](https://git-lfs.github.com/) will be available if enabled and if your Git version is >= 2.1.2
- Git commit-graph rendering will be enabled automatically if your Git version is >= 2.18
