The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service. Using Go, this can be done with an independent binary distribution across **all platforms** which Go supports, including Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. Want to try it before doing anything else? Do it [with the online demo](https://try.gitea.io/)! This project has been [forked](https://blog.gitea.io/2016/12/welcome-to-gitea/) from [Gogs](https://gogs.io).
For more information and instructions about how to install Gitea please look at our [documentation](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/). If you cannot find some specific information, then head over to our [Gitter](https://gitter.im/go-gitea/gitea) channel to chat with us.
