Trying out #gitea http://gitea.io/ self-hosted git service.

1. Looks very lightweight.
2. Written in Go.
3. Free Software.

Gitlab seems very heavy to me, especially the responsiveness of the User Interface, while gitea interface looks very clean, minimal and responsive. I hope the similar is true with gogs as well. Thinking about self-hosting my repositories using gitea using #orangepi

What I dislike about #gitlab, #gitea, #gogs and other similar projects is that any user who wants to contribute to one of your repos must create an account in your instance. So, you are forced to run a public instance. It's unpleasant business to run large public instances. It becomes a single point of failure. And, benefits of decentralization are diminished or lost.

We need something P2P or federated for hosting git. Some approaches I've heard of are #gittorrent, git over #ipfs, #bugseverywhere and #ditz. However, many of these projects are inactive and don't seem to be maintained. :-(

@arunisaac Yes. I have also been looking at distributed git. Remember #ssbc? git on top of ssbc https://github.com/clehner/git-ssb
