Hey guys 👋

I am currently hosting a Gitlab instance but I find it to be a bit slow… I found out about Gitea a couple of days ago and it looks pretty damn fast.

The main point that I’m trying to make is that I don’t understand why Gitea would have such a small market share compared to GitLab even though it looks so adequate.

So I was wondering if any of you have tried both and can give me their impressions ?

For context, I don’t expect to have many users (less than 10 most likely), and I would like to be able to integrate some CI/CD stuff with it for my projects. I don’t really need most of the project management stuff as I use external tools anyway.

Cheers, Feror.
