Gitea vs GitHub Issues

Easy to install and setup. Can run on a VPS with 1 core CPU and 256MB RAM.

Unlike Gogs, which is maintained primarily by its creator.

Easy to navigate around and feels very natural in general.

Just like Gogs, but with new features and fixed bugs. Unlike GitLab which is enormous.

Like GitHub, a wiki and issues (bugtracking) can be added to a repository.

New features, constantly updated.

If you love Gogs but were frustrated with the long wait for bugs to be fixed, this is for you.

Versions available for Linux, Mac and Windows. This is possible because Gitea is developed in the Go language which makes it compact and fast too. Only one executable is needed.

No problems getting to work with MariaDB.

Supports NuGet, npm, Cargo, Composer, Maven, RubyGems etc.
To work with the NuGet package registry, you can use command-line interface tools as well as NuGet features in various IDEs like Visual Studio.

Thanks to its light-weight and simple integration.

All templates can be overridden.

And if you want extra features, you can use web hooks.

GitHub's UI is clean and intuitive. Each view is designed to not fill the screen with useless information.

For example, the repository view displays only the most crucial data about that repo - on the top it displays the number of commits, branches, releases and contributors. When clicked, each of them will take the user to a page that displays more detailed information.

GitHub is the largest code host on the planet with over 21.4 million hosted repositories and many users. It's unarguably the largest VCS used by developers worldwide and as such, it has a vibrant community that follows it resulting in many guides and tutorials for new users. Even experienced developers can always find an answer to any question they may have.

GitHub has added another layer of security to their user accounts. This layer comes in the form of Two-Factor authentication. After it's enabled, GitHub delivers an authentication code by SMS, or by a free application for smartphones. After two-factor authentication is enabled, the authentication code is sent to the account owner's phone any time someone attempts to sign into their GitHub account. This means that only someone who has both the password and authentication code can sign into the account.

GitHub can be integrated with Travis CI for code testing and it is free for free open-source projects.

Any user can fork a project and submit a pull request. If accepted by the owner, the fork will be merged with the master branch.

GitHub has easy and useful features to control teams, large and small alike. Team members can be given different powers on different projects, ranging from the ability to create them, to only being able to have read-only access.

GitHub has native apps for mobile (iOS and Android), Windows and Mac, which make code deployment easier and faster.

Issues can be linked to a specific release using GitHub Projects.
