Hello Everyone, Considering the open source aspect and freedom Gitea is more free than Gitlab.
Considering the features, this comparison, by Gitea, could help https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/comparison/ From my experience managing both (opinionated): - Gitea is more free, versatile, responsive and lightweight. - Gitlab is more mature with some more visible features.
