=====================

Gogs(Go Git Service) is a Self Hosted Git Service in the Go Programming Language.

![Demo](http://gowalker.org/public/gogs_demo.gif)

##### Current version: 0.1.8 Alpha

#### Other language version

- [简体中文](README_ZH.md)

## Purpose

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

More importantly, Gogs only needs one binary to setup your own project hosting on the fly!
