Whats the difference between Gitea and Gogs main branch?

Well, from Gitea’s GH page:

This branch is 446 commits ahead, 34 commits behind gogits:master.

Also its commit history.

You can also see it’s more active if you notice the commits timestamps. From what I read, Gogs development stalled for a while at some point (it has 53 pending pull requests) and that’s why the community decided to make a fork.

On the other hand, I think Unknwon has a specific vision about Gogs and thinks twice about implementing something (the web editor was something thoroughly discussed before it was accepted by Unknwon) but that may not always be a bad thing when you consider that Gitea also has 37 pending pull requests, which means everything may stall, at some point.

Nevertheless, it’s just a suggestion for the future, in case (let’s hope not), Unknwon abandons the project. I think right now, you should stick with Gogs.

Closing this one too, as this is just a suggestion list that you can refer to or bookmark. Not really an issue.

New suggestion: GitBucket.
