Gogs is great if you want to set up git hosting that doesn't use a lot of resources but has every essential feature.

Looks very dated, not actively maintained, even security bugs aren't patched for a while. Packed with bugs and UX annoyances.

It was a great software at it's time, but these days there are far better forges out there with the same performance and more features. This one is from the past.

10000 files in 10 seconds. It's local, it's yours. It's safe, it's offline ... it's free. Brings a smile to my face.

Gogs is a paradise alternative to the evil GitLab, which is a community of Linux zealots, where there are no Linux users. I can enjoy it without being bothered with Linux Siths and zealots. I do not use GitHub because my account has been banned thanks to the Linux villains. If you are a macOS or Windows user and do not want to be bothered by Linux users, Gogs is the best alternative to shield and you will be safe from Linux users!

Easy deployment and maintenance thanks to the fact it is written in Go.

Initially I wanted to use GitLab for my projects, but its minimal requirement for RAM is 2Gb. Gogs is working perfectly on 512Mb RAM VPS so it's pretty cheap for me. Gogs has almost everything I need and just works.

I've tried GitLab and other applications but setup is always a pain with them. The thing's different with GoGits, you just download and extract it and run. Woala You're good to go!
