    Its feature set is not identical to GitLab but it is a perfect alternative for small teams or personal projects. On top, it barely uses any resources.

    Despite its name, GitLab is not only a version control system (VCS), is a suite of cloud based solutions around source code.

    That being said, Gitea is an alternative for GitLab only as a VCS.
