Gitea is a better gogs fork

It's not necessarily better, they're different.

I run Gitea since the goal there seems to be more like Github while Gogs seems to aim more for a Gitlab-Light experience.

I am running Gitea too. Quite happy with it.

At the time when I compared to Gogs, I read about a period where the Gogs maintainer was off, and PR's were piling up. Not sure, but that may have been the reason to create Gitea fork at the time. The project has multiple maintainers, and when I compared activity (about 8 months ago), it was more active in terms of PR's and commits.

To my impression the activity is largely equal at the moment, though Gogs still has only one maintainer, so if the bus hits...

Most of the core stuff is the same, so for simple git repo hosting I don't think it matters.
