We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines.

At work we selfhost gitlab (paid) and I'm checking gitea for my own projects. They have a good comparison table at https://docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison

Do you also need CI/CD?

Also working in a small team with Gitea. Pretty solid the last few years.

[–] monomon@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Same. Really happy with it.

Is there a reason to choose gitlab over gitea?

We do not need ci/cd

If you don't need CI/CD I don't see any reasons to choose Gitlab over gitea. But I'm still testing gitea so take my words with a grain of salt :)

Gitea also has excellent CI support with builtin compatibility with github

If you don't need CI/CD I'm not sure why you need a centralized frontend at all. Git itself is distributed and you can setup any code flow you can think of. It has hooks that can be used to set up code quality checks on select branches. There are local history browser apps for every platform and IDE plugins.

A frontend is no substitute for developer communication — usually what the "PR" thing does is sugarcoat the fact the devs don't know how to use Git and/or don't talk to each other.
