Open Source Version Control & Collaboration Software
Version Control & Collaboration software manages source code history and coordinates teamwork across development projects. These tools track changes to files, facilitate code reviews, and automate deployment pipelines to prevent conflicts in shared repositories. This type of software serves developers and engineering teams who need to host their own repositories and issue trackers. By self-hosting these apps, you keep your proprietary code and build artifacts on your own hardware instead of relying on external hosting services.
This page lists 43 open source tools in the Version Control & Collaboration category. The most popular are Godot, code-server and Gitea. Most use the MIT or Apache-2.0 license, and 28 offer an official Docker image.
