Problem
Many development teams lack a unified, self‑hosted platform that combines Git repository management, code review, issue tracking, CI/CD, and package hosting, forcing them to piece together multiple tools or rely on external services.
Solution
Gitea provides an all‑in‑one self‑hosted DevOps platform that lets teams manage Git repositories, conduct pull‑request reviews, track issues, and run CI/CD pipelines via Gitea Actions using familiar YAML syntax. It also includes integrated package registries for over 20 ecosystems, enabling private or public distribution of binaries and libraries. The platform is lightweight, easy to install, and can be deployed on‑premises or in the cloud, giving organizations full control over data and infrastructure. Enterprise customers gain additional security and compliance features such as branch‑protection inheritance, dependency scanning, SAML SSO, IP allowlists, mandatory two‑factor authentication, audit logs, and Kubernetes‑auto‑scaling runners. Premium support and a 30‑day free trial are offered to accelerate adoption.
