Gitea

Definitions

1. A lightweight self-hostable Git service that provides repository hosting, issues, pull requests, and user management through an open source codebase. It is popular with teams and communities that want GitHub-like workflows without depending on a hosted platform.

   In plain English: An open source platform for hosting Git repositories yourself.

   Example: "The research group moved to Gitea because they needed private hosting without a lot of operational overhead."
