Gogs - Go Git Service [![wercker status](https://app.wercker.com/status/ad0bdb0bc450ac6f09bc56b9640a50aa/s/ "wercker status")](https://app.wercker.com/project/bykey/ad0bdb0bc450ac6f09bc56b9640a50aa) [![Go Walker](http://gowalker.org/api/v1/badge)](https://gowalker.org/github.com/gogits/gogs)
=====================

Gogs(Go Git Service) is a GitHub-like clone in the Go Programming Language.

Since we choose to use pure Go implementation of Git manipulation, Gogs certainly supports **ALL platforms**  that Go supports, including Linux, Max OS X, and Windows with **ZERO** dependency.

##### Current version: 0.1.6 Alpha

## Purpose

There are some very good products in this category such as [gitlab](http://gitlab.com), but the environment setup steps often make us crazy. So our goal of Gogs is to build a GitHub-like clone with very easy setup steps, which take advantages of the Go Programming Language.
