Healthy

Healthy across all four use cases

HealthyDependency

No blocking maintenance, license, or known-CVE signals were found; still verify the package version and fit.

HealthyFork & modify

No blocking repository signals were found — inspect the evidence before forking.

HealthyLearn from

Documented and popular — useful reference codebase to read through.

HealthyDeploy as-is

No blocking repository-level signals were found; deployment review is still required.

What it is

Gitea is a self-hosted, all-in-one Git service written in Go that provides Git repository hosting, code review, issue tracking, wiki, team collaboration, package registry, and CI/CD capabilities (with GitHub Actions reuse). It runs across all major platforms and architectures supported by Go, solving the problem of organizations needing a lightweight, privacy-respecting alternative to GitHub. Monolithic structure: cmd/ contains CLI entry points (admin, actions, auth handlers); build/ holds code generation tools (emoji, openapi3gen, bindata); assets/ has static data (emoji.json, logo.svg, codemirror config); the actual application logic (models, routes, services) is in unlisted directories.…

Start here

Open these first:

cmd/main.go — Entry point for the Gitea application; orchestrates initialization of all services and CLI command registration.
cmd/web.go — Web server startup and configuration handler; initializes HTTP routing and middleware stack.
go.mod — Declares Go 1.27 requirement and all external dependencies; essential for understanding build environment and third-party…
Dockerfile — Production container image definition; specifies runtime environment and deployment expectations.
CONTRIBUTING.md — Developer guidelines for contributing; establishes code standards and workflow expectations.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea.git && cd gitea. Install prerequisites per docs/build-setup.md (Go 1.27, Node.js for frontend assets). Build with make build (Makefile present). Set…

Daily commands:

Verify build prerequisites in docs/build-setup.md and docs/development.md. Use make build to compile. Run ./gitea web or make run to start the development server (typical Go pattern). Frontend assets likely requir…

Key cautions & unknowns

Scorecard: dangerous CI workflow (0/10)
Go version 1.27.0 is pinned in go.mod/toolchain—mismatches will cause build failures. The project is a monolith with no visible Go workspaces, so updating one dependency may cascade. No visible .env.example or config…
Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.

Evidence note

Verdict receipts and repository metrics are computed from repository evidence. Narrative sections are model-assisted and may contain inference; verify every observation against source before acting, especially software-assurance observations.
