    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 a version control system (VCS), is a suite of cloud based solutions around source code.

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

    Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
