Gitea 1.10.0 Released

Gitea is simply an amazing piece of software and a big thank you to all the contributors!<p>It really is comparable to Gitlab without the heft that Gitlab brings. Moreover, it is really straightforward to install and you can run it on a really low-end machine which makes it perfect to get up and running just to try it out.

Great software and I&#x27;ve started using it for some hobby stuff on my Macbook. Some of the default setup locations such as &#x2F;usr&#x2F;local&#x2F;bin&#x2F;custom&#x2F;app.ini could be better, heck app.ini in that location could be anything! The FAQ at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitea.io&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;faq&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitea.io&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;faq&#x2F;</a> does give a clear indication of where things go, so I put all my stuff in ~&#x2F;.gitea and, a simple alias takes care of starting Gitea: alias giteaweb=&#x27;gitea web -c ~&#x2F;.gitea&#x2F;custom&#x2F;conf&#x2F;gitea.ini&#x27;

Pretty stoked to try this out... Just dug into Gitea about a week or two ago. The make sure checks have passed will be a nice feature to make sure I don&#x27;t fat finger things.<p>I just wish migrating from Gogs was more straightforward, if you&#x27;re on a newer version of Gogs, it seems like an odyssey. I got about halfway through and then saw I was going to have to upgrade version by version, and just bailed. With that said, I&#x27;ll probably just migrate the bits of data out PSQL by hand that I want from Gogs since that seems easier and less error prone.

I understand that Gitea focus on light-weight, painless instance: Just run a binary and you&#x27;re done. That far I understand why I would choose Gitea over GitLab.<p>But what are the USPs between Gitea and <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gogs.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gogs.io&#x2F;</a> ? Both Go-based. Both using the same claims. Actually from the very first impression Gitea looks more polished than Gogs.<p><i>Update:</i> Okay - I learned that Gogs a) has only one maintainer and b) can not make pull requests between branches of forked repositories. Also <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitea.io&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;comparison&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.gitea.io&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;comparison&#x2F;</a> provides a first overview.

&gt; I just wish migrating from Gogs was more straightforward, if you&#x27;re on a newer version of Gogs,<p>For me it&#x27;s either Gitlab (huge) or Gogs (small). Open source is great, thus Gitea could be forked and add more features. -- My instance works on Gogs fine since a long time, no reason to migrate.

I had thought that Gitea would be self-hosted.

Thanks and congratulations! This may be the project that finally gets me to invest in learning go.

Gitea is just incredible.
