The painless way to host your own Git service with Gogs.
Run a small Git server with issues and pull requests for personal or household projects.
You need integrated CI/CD, package registries, and enterprise policy controls.
Keep repositories on internal infrastructure without operating a large GitLab instance.
Your team expects GitHub Actions-level automation inside the Git host.
Small teams and homelab operators often need private Git hosting but do not need the size or complexity of GitLab. Hosted Git platforms also put source code, user accounts, and repository policy under a third-party account model.
Gogs aims to be simple, stable, and easy to run, with independent binary distributions across platforms supported by Go.
The README lists SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, organizations, issues, pull requests, wiki, protected branches, collaboration, webhooks, deploy keys, and Git LFS.
Gogs can run with common databases and a smaller operational profile than full DevOps platforms.
Gogs is better when the team needs small private Git hosting under its own control. GitHub is better for public collaboration, hosted CI, security products, and the largest developer network. Compared with Gitea, Gogs is the simpler option, but teams should check ecosystem momentum before standardizing.
```bash docker run --name=gogs -p 10022:22 -p 10880:3000 -v /var/gogs:/data gogs/gogs ```Gogs can replace GitHub for basic self-hosted repository hosting, issues, pull requests, and wiki workflows. GitHub is stronger for public discovery, Actions, marketplace integrations, and enterprise collaboration.
Gogs and Gitea share historical roots, but Gitea has a larger current ecosystem. Gogs remains attractive when the priority is a small and simple Git service.
Yes. The README lists Git LFS among the repository features.
