Managed Gitea_

Your team’s code on a Git server of its own

Gitea is a lightweight self-hosted Git service: repositories, pull requests, issues, wikis, releases and package registries for your team, in one fast application.

From £5 a month, VAT included. No server to run.

Launch Gitea with £8 credit How it works
  • HTTPS and your own domain
  • Health checks and restarts
  • Security updates underneath
  • Private repositories
  • Code review
  • Issue tracking
  • Package registries

First steps

  1. Sign in. When the app is live, open it in the console and choose Reveal admin password; it is shown once, so save it in your password manager. Then sign in at your-name.apps.fresh.dev/user/login.
  2. Bring code across with New Migration: Gitea copies a repository from GitHub or GitLab, with its issues, pull requests and releases if you give it a token.
  3. Create accounts for your team yourself: open sign-up is turned off.
  4. Create a personal access token under Settings › Applications if your account uses two-factor sign-in.
  5. Add SMTP details in the console so review requests and mentions reach people.

Push an existing project

Create an empty repository in Gitea, then point your local copy at it:

git remote add origin https://your-name.apps.fresh.dev/your-team/website.git
git push -u origin main

Git asks for your Gitea username and password, or an access token. Large files work with Git LFS.

Good to know

  • Git works over HTTPS only; Git over SSH isn’t available.
  • Gitea Actions are turned off, because they need a separate runner.

The Gitea project

Gitea is open-source software, licensed under MIT. Fresh runs version 28.1.0 of the upstream release for you. Fresh is not affiliated with the Gitea project; for questions about the software itself, its documentation and community are the best place to start.
