Originally created by @grinapo on GitHub (Jun 3, 2019).

Accidentally some features were forgotten in the comparison:

supports hg/mercurial, svn/subversion
supports wiki
self-hostable (unless they all are)

I compared only self-hostable solutions

@lafriks me too. I try to extend it a bit but I'm doing too much at the moment, so either someone with more time want to extend it, or wait for me, or choose not to worry about it (which is not really fair, comparison-wise, though not entirely unexpected).

supports hg/mercurial, svn/subversion

I don't know if this features are in the scope of gitea

here is how it compares to other Git self hosted options.

May someone can fill in the gaps. So the PR should be done really fast. Let's collect the information here, if they really should be added to comparison.

	Gitea	Gogs	GitHub EE	GitLab CE	GitLab EE	BitBucket	RhodeCode CE
Migration from hg/Mercurial	X	X	?	?	X	?	?
Migrattion from svn/Subversion	X	X	?	?	X	?	?
Support hg/Mercurial clients	X	X	?	?	?	?	?
Support svn/Subversion clients	X	X	✓	?	?	?	?
hg/Mercurial support	X	X	?	?	?	✓	?
svn/Subversion support	X	X	?	?	?	✓	?

Note some tools mentioned above uses third party tools for migration or uses command line and written a documentation how to migrate from XY. As this is not supported via UI I have crossed this.

I don't know if it is nessesary to add something to the comparison, if it is only supported by none or one.

supports wiki

already there, look for Integrated Git-powered wiki

self-hostable (unless they all are)

as mentioned before, the all self hostable

I don't really see much point for comparing support for other VCS as we are comparing Git hosting solutions

@lafriks commented on GitHub (Jun 20, 2019): I don't really see much point for comparing support for other VCS as we are comparing **Git** hosting solutions

@grinapo commented on GitHub (Jun 24, 2019):

@lafriks Then please mention that "this table contains only git related subjects since gitea only supports that; other VCS support may be available in the alternatives".

The main reason of mine was that I was looking around for mercurial UIs and lots of available "git" named UI actually support svn, hg and some else. Since I prefer to see what the developers say about thir own stuff first I have came here and seen that I can't tell whether it actually supports anything else, and I have noticed that some listed alternatives do. It may help true comparison of the alternatives, from your perspective. (Naturally I look around elsewhere, too, but that comes after you. :-))
