## Vision

The Gogs project aims to build a simple, stable and extensible self-hosted Git service that can be set up in the most painless way. With Go, this can be done with an independent binary distribution across all platforms that Go supports, including Linux, macOS, Windows and ARM-based systems.

## Core values

* **Simple to install**: Run the binary, or run as a Docker container.
* **Cross-platform**: Runs on every platform that Go toolchain supports.
* **Lightweight**: Unrealistically low resource consumption to get started. Only got 64 MiB of RAM and a quarter of vCPU? No problem!
* **Open source**: MIT-licensed since 2014, all source code available in public.
