Gogs is another great foss git alternative, and easier to run for small sites. We use it at ZeroTier.

I've also heard about gitea, which is apparently a fork of Gogs with the only difference being more maintainers.

Does anyone know of any more substantial differences? Which should I choose?

I've setup gitea for myself. Both a fairly similar, just that gitea doesn't have a single point of failure. Gitea has a feature comparison chat on their site[1] if you wish to compare the two directly. The fork arose from the single maintainer not working to give some control to the community.

That is a pleasantly honest comparison table, even listing the features they don't (at least currently) have. A refreshing change not to need a third party assessment for that.

You can see when Gitea forked from Gogs at

The following shows how active the two products are:

gogs was more of a one-person-in-command project, not sure its status now, gitea is more of a team work. I use gitea, works great all around, perfect for small to middle-size needs, totally resource light when you self host,a $5 VPS will serve well, or a small local VM

There is also Gitbucket - https://gitbucket.github.io/gitbucket-news/gitbucket/2018/05...

Now with LFS, code review, etc features. Built on the JVM - blazing performance.

All these alternatives seem to use Github as the main code repository. That's a really bad smell. Why don't they host their codebase in their own service?

Gitlab's main codebase is in Gitlab, though.

Yeah no, they really need another name. Bitbucket is known. Everybody talking about gitbucket will have to make it twice clear that it's not Atlassian's bitbucket.

This is also an interesting read on alternatives if you want to host on a RaspberryPi: https://gitbucket.github.io/gitbucket-news/gitbucket/2017/03...
