## Role
Self-hosted git forge
## Why it's here
A lightweight git service with repos, issues, pull requests and packages. Fast on a small VPS, complete enough to replace a hosted forge.
## Running it
Started by `docker compose up -d` on port 3000.
```bash
./fetch-sources.sh ./sources
tar xzf ./sources/gitea.tar.gz -C ./sources
```
