Self-Hosted

Open-source git repository management & project tracking tool

Overview

Pagure is a free, open-source git repository management and project tracking tool tailored for software development teams. It supports core features like git repo hosting (with branch protection), issue tracking, pull requests, code reviews, and built-in wikis. Built with Python/Flask, it’s lightweight and customizable, offering federation (cross-instance collaboration) and CI/CD integration. Used by the Fedora Project, it prioritizes data ownership and privacy, ideal for self-hosted setups. Deploy via Docker or source to control your codebase without proprietary platform lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
