Gitea is a community fork of the popular self-hosted Git service Gogs.
|
||||
|
||||
We're a growing group of former Gogs users and contributors who found
|
||||
the single-maintainer management model of Gogs frustrating and thus
|
||||
decided to make an effort to build a more open and faster development
|
||||
model.
|
||||
|
||||
This happened not before trying to convince @Unknwon about giving
|
||||
write permissions to more people, among the community. He rightly
|
||||
considered Gogs his own creature and didn't want to let it grow
|
||||
outside of him, thus a fork was necessary in order to set that
|
||||
code effectively free.
|
||||
|
||||
As Kahlil Gibran wrote about children:
|
||||
|
||||
Your children are not your children.
|
||||
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
|
||||
They come through you but not from you,
|
||||
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
|
||||
|
||||
Gitea has 3 owners which are elected yearly and an open number
|
||||
of maintainers who decide with a simple voting model which
|
||||
contributions get accepted and who will play the owner role.
|
||||
Anyone with at least 4 contributions accepted can apply to become
|
||||
a maintainer.
|
||||
|
||||
In the first 3 weeks from the fork date (~Nov 1st) Gitea got
|
||||
94 pull requests merged and 23 issues closed. Among management
|
||||
issues and cleanups, 21 bugs were closed (an average of a bug a day).
|
||||
Anoher 23 PR are pending merges, many of which are just waiting
|
||||
for 1.0.0 to be released as new features will start appearing
|
||||
in 1.1.0.
|
||||
|
||||
We invite everyone to join the effort and help continue building
|
||||
the next generation of self-hosted Git service.
