Since we choose to use pure Go implementation of Git manipulation, Gogs certainly supports **ALL platforms** that Go supports, including Linux, Max OS X, and Windows with **ZERO** dependency.
There are some very good products in this category such as [gitlab](http://gitlab.com), but the environment setup steps often make us crazy. So our goal of Gogs is to build a GitHub-like clone with very easy setup steps, which take advantages of the Go Programming Language.
This project was launched by [Unknown](https://github.com/Unknwon) and [lunny](https://github.com/lunny); [fuxiaohei](https://github.com/fuxiaohei) and [slene](https://github.com/slene) joined the team soon after.
