The Gogs project aims to build a simple, stable and extensible self-hosted Git service that can be setup in the most painless way.
Gogs has low minimal requirements and can run on an inexpensive Raspberry Pi. Some users even run Gogs instances on their NAS devices.
The software is released under an open source license.

- Add/Remove repository collaborators.
- Supports repository/Organization web hooks for repository events. All event pushes are POST requests. There’s support for 3 versions of formats: Gogs, Slack, and Discord.

- Gravatar and Federated avatar with custom source.
- Mail service.
- Administration panel.
- Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, MSSQL and TiDB (via MySQL protocol).
- Custom templates with 2 types:
- Template replacement – core template is superseded by the custom template and so the original will not execute. Future template changes must be manually integrated into your custom override templates.
- Code injection – keeps the original template, but simply injects additional code. Future template changes are automatically integrated when you upgrade to newer releases. This is useful if you want to add analytics code or include custom static resources.
- Supports authentication by various external sources. Currently supported are: LDAP, SMTP, PAM, and GitHub.
- Internationalization support – supports 30 languages.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, ARM, Mac, and Windows.
