The great project that have been out there for years...
And I've no idea why some just still ask without a single personal research, sorry... There's so just much awesome information about such projects... if you just make a little search...

Yes, they oriented their design on GitHub, including the Act Runner Yaml configuration based on Nekto's work.

The goal of this project is to provide the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.

Gitea is incredibly freaking awesome for personal, safe, Git service, too, with even Action runner workflows. The standard Git, HTTPS, and SSH protocols are supported.
You may just self-host it on a host (or more isolated) by building/downloading the single binary/container for your host and launch it. Yes, the whole marvel is a single Go binary.

There are numerous people who work on the project right now:

With their license change, Forgejo fork happened.

Not sure about gitea specifically, but you'd be surprised how often a product website absolutely confounds people going there to look up what it basically is. And then searches for it talk about it but assume you know at least some basic concept that it's wrapped around and jumping right into what it does better than the competition, but never what it actually does.

It's like if McDonalds Web site listed that it's cheaper than the competition, and how many it's served and how happy it's employees are, without getting around to mention it serves burgers because, like, everyone knows at least that part, right?

Some niche programs are exactly like that, and if you don't know what github is, or a repository, personal research saying it's 'like that' isn't going to get where you're hoping.

I am sorry, but what do you mean by "work"? There's a whole documentation out there, just in case:
