Gogs vs Perforce: What are the differences?

What is Gogs? A self-hosted Git service written in Go. The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest and most painless way to set up a self-hosted Git service. With Go, this can be done in independent binary distribution across ALL platforms that Go supports, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

What is Perforce? Self-hosted Version Control Software. Visibility, access control, workflow and code management for Git environments. Flexibility of collaborating on the same codebase and code reviews using any combination of Perforce and Git workflows and tools without compromise.

Gogs and Perforce can be categorized as "Code Collaboration & Version Control" tools.

"Self-hosted github like service" is the top reason why over 32 developers like Gogs, while over 2 developers mention "Great for Enterprise level use" as the leading cause for choosing Perforce.

Gogs is an open source tool with 30.8K GitHub stars and 3.56K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Gogs's open source repository on GitHub.
