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.
