+Federated Computer empowers businesses with self-hosted, privacy-focused tools to enhance productivity and profitability. One of the key components of our suite is Gitea—a powerful, open-source alternative to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
+
+## Why Choose Gitea Over GitHub?
+
+While GitHub Copilot, GitHub Desktop, GitHub Actions, and GitHub Enterprise dominate the market, they come with limitations:
+
+- **Vendor lock-in** (your data lives on GitHub's servers)
+- **High costs** (especially for enterprise GitHub plans)
+- **Limited customization** (GitHub API has restrictions)
+
+Gitea solves these problems by offering:
+
+- **Self-hosted Git repositories** (full control over your code)
+- **Lightweight & fast** (runs on low-resource devices, even a Raspberry Pi)
+- **Built-in CI/CD** (similar to GitHub Actions)
+- **No pricing tiers** (unlike GitHub pricing, which scales per user)
+- **Open-source & customizable** (MIT licensed, unlike proprietary GitHub features)
+
+## Gitea vs. GitHub vs. GitLab
+
+| Feature | Gitea | GitHub | GitLab |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Hosting | Self-Hosted | Cloud | Both |
+| Open-Source | ✔ (MIT) | ❌ Partial | ✔ Yes |
+| CI/CD | ✔ Gitea Actions | ✔ GitHub Actions | ✔ GitLab CI/CD |
+| System Resources | Low | High (cloud-based) | High |
+| Customization | ✔ High | ❌ Limited | ✔ High |
+| Pricing | Free | Paid Tiers | Free + Enterprise |
+
+Gitea is ideal for businesses that need:
+
+- **Private repositories** without GitHub's paywall
+- **Internal DevOps workflows** (like GitHub Enterprise but self-hosted)
+- **Seamless migration** from GitHub for Windows or GitHub Desktop
+
+## How Federated Computer Enhances Gitea
+
+At Federated Computer, we bundle Gitea with other self-hosted productivity tools to help businesses:
+
+- **Reduce SaaS costs** (avoid GitHub pricing and vendor lock-in)
+- **Improve security** (host code internally, no reliance on GitHub API)
+- **Boost efficiency** (integrate with internal CI/CD, like GitHub Actions alternatives)
