    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.

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

    That being said, Trac is an alternative only speaking about Wiki and Issue Tracking system, both features of GitLab that can be enabled/disabled per each repo/project/group
