What is MokoGIT?

Overview

MokoGIT is a private, self-hosted Git service powered by Gitea — a lightweight, open-source platform similar to GitHub or GitLab. Provided and fully managed by Moko Consulting, MokoGIT gives your team a secure, dedicated instance for hosting code without the hassle of server setup or maintenance.

Access & Sign-In

MokoGIT is a private service: signing in is required to browse repositories, view code, and use issues, pull requests, and the wiki. Anonymous web access is disabled to protect the service from automated scraping (crawlers). Your account is provided by your Moko Consulting administrator.

Automatic product updates keep working — installed MokoOnyx and Joomla extensions continue to check for updates and download their licensed releases in the background, with no sign-in required. Only interactive web browsing needs an account.

Key Features

  • Repository Hosting — Create unlimited public or private Git repositories with full version control. (“Public” repositories are visible to signed-in users of your instance.)
  • Issue Tracking — Report bugs, request features, and manage tasks with labels, milestones, and project boards.
  • Code Review — Use pull requests with inline comments, approvals, and merge options to maintain code quality.
  • Organizations & Teams — Group repositories and manage access for departments, projects, or clients.
  • CI/CD with Gitea Actions — Automate builds, tests, and deployments using GitHub Actions-compatible workflows.
  • Webhooks & API — Integrate with Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or build custom automations via the REST API.

Why MokoGIT?

Unlike public cloud services, MokoGIT runs on infrastructure managed by Moko Consulting. That means:

  • Full data ownership — Your code stays on your terms, not a third-party platform.
  • Managed for you — We handle updates, backups, security patches, and server maintenance so you can focus on development.
  • Custom configuration — Need specific integrations or settings? We tailor your instance to fit your workflow.
