They're both under active development.

My last post on Gogs and Gitea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17006872

There are a lot of conflicting opinions, even on that thread.

It would be nice if someone wrote an article that did a deep dive on the current state of both of them.

Looking at Git activity, I can clearly see that Gitea is more actively under development by every metric.

However, since they are now divergent code bases, what does Gogs offer that would make someone inclined to use it over Gitea?

The re-branding left a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm going to keep using the original.
