    Its feature set is not identical to GitLab but it is a perfect alternative for small teams or personal projects. On top, it barely uses any resources.

    Despite its name, GitLab is not only a version control system (VCS), is a suite of cloud based solutions around source code.

    That being said, Gitea is an alternative for GitLab only as a VCS.

    The easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service. With Go, this can be done with an independent binary distribution across ALL platforms that Go supports, including Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and ARM.

    With that being said, Gogs is an alternative for GitLab, only speaking about VCS and Wiki solution.
