Atom vs Gitea: What are the differences?
Atom: A hackable text editor for the 21st Century. At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it; Gitea: A painless self-hosted Git service. Gitea is a community managed lightweight code hosting solution written in Go. It published under the MIT license.
Atom belongs to "Text Editor" category of the tech stack, while Gitea can be primarily classified under "Code Collaboration & Version Control".
"Free" is the top reason why over 514 developers like Atom, while over 8 developers mention "Self-hosted" as the leading cause for choosing Gitea.
Atom and Gitea are both open source tools. Atom with 49K GitHub stars and 12K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Gitea with 14.4K GitHub stars and 1.56K GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Atom has a broader approval, being mentioned in 830 company stacks & 715 developers stacks; compared to Gitea, which is listed in 8 company stacks and 10 developer stacks.
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.
Since communication with Github is not necessary, the Atom is less convenient in working with text and code. Sublim's support and understanding of projects is best for us. Notepad for us is a completely outdated solution with an unacceptable interface. We use a good theme for Sublim ayu-dark
