I’ve the information that it’s like GitHub or Codeberg, but its looks are different. I’ve created an account anyways.
asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 19 hours ago It’s the same as them. If you’ve seen Gitea’s UI and Codeberg’s UI, you’ll realize that they look identical. That is because Codeberg’s software, Forgejo, is actually a hard fork of Gitea.
Gitea as its core is a git forge. A place to store data using git as a synchronisation method.
What data? Anything you want, but best works with loose files like that used with programming so you can roll back code, create a copy to test your change before adding it to the main repository.
That doesn’t mean it can’t store other files. Exe, jpeg, mkv, are all fine to store there but not it’s ideal purpose.
artwork@lemmy.world 18 hours ago Gitea is awesomly similar to GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, an many others, yet everything of these - is not Git. Git is a whole Universe started by Linus Torvalds, and now supported by marvelous Communities.
Gitea is a same service, as the aforementioned, for a remote, authorized, and safer Git, and other features as: Repository optimizations and analysis; Issue tracking; Discussions; Automation as Action Workflows etc.
Git Large File Storage (LFS) is normally used for data over 20-100 MB, and it is not directly related, nor officially maintained by Git.
Please do not store in Git pure binary or media files over 10 MB. Otherwise, your remote and local Git may struggle every change processing comparing bit-by-bit, instead of its hashsum.
One of the book to seriously start with Git I would recommend, in addition to its official documentations and Man files:
- Head First Git by Raju Gandhi.

artwork@lemmy.world 1 day ago The great project that have been out there for years…
And I’ve no idea why some just still ask without a single personal research, sorry… There’s so just much awesome information about such projects… if you just make a little search…
Yes, they oriented their design on GitHub, including the Act Runner Yaml configuration based on Nekto’s work.
The goal of this project is to provide the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.

Gitea is incredibly freaking awesome for personal, safe, Git service, too, with even Action runner workflows. The standard Git, HTTPS, and SSH protocols are supported.
You may just self-host it on a host (or more isolated) by building/downloading the single binary/container for your host and launch it. Yes, the whole marvel is a single Go binary.
There are numerous people who work on the project right now:

With their license change, Forgejo fork happened.
Not sure about gitea specifically, but you’d be surprised how often a product website absolutely confounds people going there to look up what it basically is. And then searches for it talk about it but assume you know at least some basic concept that it’s wrapped around and jumping right into what it does better than the competition, but never what it actually does.
It’s like if McDonalds Web site listed that it’s cheaper than the competition, and how many it’s served and how happy it’s employees are, without getting around to mention it serves burgers because, like, everyone knows at least that part, right?
Some niche programs are exactly like that, and if you don’t know what github is, or a repository, personal research saying it’s ‘like that’ isn’t going to get where you’re hoping.

MastKalandar@feddit.online 1 day ago How to work on it ? It doesn’t look like your normal GitHub or Codeberg…….
artwork@lemmy.world 1 day ago I am sorry, but what do you mean by “work”? There’s a whole documentation out there, just in case:

Well, l’ve been viewing Gitea on my small android phone.
