Apache Allura is an open source implementation of a software forge, a web site that manages source code repositories, bug reports, discussions, wiki pages, blogs, and more for any number of individual projects. On the other hand, Gitea is detailed as "A painless self-hosted Git service". Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. It published under the MIT license.
Apache Allura and Gitea can be categorized as "Code Collaboration & Version Control" tools.
Gitea is an open source tool with 14.7K GitHub stars and 1.6K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Gitea's open source repository on GitHub.
Out of most of the VCS solutions out there, we found Gitlab was the most feature complete with a free community edition. Their DevSecops offering is also a very robust solution. Gitlab CI/CD was quite easy to setup and the direct integration with your VCS + CI/CD is also a bonus. Out of the box integration with major cloud providers, alerting through instant messages etc. are all extremely convenient. We push our CI/CD updates to MS Teams.
