About Gogs

Gogs is a lightweight, self-hosted Git service written in Go that lets you run your own GitHub-like platform on virtually any hardware. Designed around simplicity and minimal resource usage, Gogs can run on a Raspberry Pi or a small VPS with as little as 64MB of RAM and 0.25 vCPU — making it one of the most accessible self-hosted Git solutions available. It is 100% free and open source under the MIT License. Out of the box, Gogs provides everything a development team needs for code hosting: repository management with SSH and HTTPS access, issue tracking, wikis, pull requests, protected branches, webhooks, and organization/team management. It supports multiple database backends including SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MSSQL, and runs natively on Linux, macOS, Windows, and ARM devices including Raspberry Pi. Gogs is ideal for individuals, small teams, and organizations that want full control over their source code without relying on cloud-based services. Its single binary distribution and built-in SQLite support make setup straightforward, and its Go-based architecture means it stays fast and efficient even under load. While it has a slower release cadence than Gitea (its community fork), Gogs remains a battle-tested choice for teams that value stability and simplicity over cutting-edge features.
