See, here's the thing: I don't want free private repos to exist. What GitHub has done is incentive making things open source, and that's immeasurably valuable.

Just because it's in a public repo doesn't mean it's open source.
But meanwhile, again please let's not fragment needlessly - that's certainly not something worth the price to pay for an (admittedly great) "alternative" service be it self-hosted or otherwise...
Edit: I'm strictly talking open-source projects here - Gitlab is a fantastic solution for private repos!
GitLab CEO here. Awesome to see this article! Ask me anything.
It has been said that that GitHub has many killer features that are lacking in Gitlab or Bitbucket (e.g. Github has better issues handling, prettier graphs). Do you agree? And if you do, what features of Gitlab would you like to improve to compete with Github's killer features?
That's a fucking stupid headline.
Here's my answer: No.
Here's why: I am the creator of LinuxOnTheWeb. It's an entire OS in a browser, not some stupid early 2000's-esque HTML4 bullshit.
Here's another reason: I'm the fucking peace guy.
And yet another: I'm way fucking cooler that some "look at me in Silicon Valley I'm a CEO" douchebag.
And finally: You don't like me, fuck you, I'm the peace guy.

Google me, assholes.
And by "me", I mean "the peace guy".
I'll just jump in to vouch for Gitlab CE, in a self-hosted setup. @sytse: it is one of the best documented and well packaged pieces of software these days. Specially in the Ruby world. Thank you for that. Gitlab really makes a difference. Where others just distribute Docker images or directly nothing (because omg it is too hard to do proper packaging), Gitlab has nice packages for CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu (the distr…
We spend a lot of time making our Omnibus packages a flawless install and upgrade experience. Docker images are great but for many users Docker is not an option.
GitLab CE is just as performant and easy to upgrade as EE and we strive to keep it that way https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship
Currently our team member Axil is upgrading a GitLab installation from 5.0 all the way to the latest version to ensure it is as smooth as it can be https://twitter.com/gitlab/status/698236575231119360

If source code can be viewed by all in a public repo, then it's open source. Not necessarily FOSS though.
For it to be open source it must "made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose."
If you publish a github repo with no LICENSE file that specifies an actual open source license it's all rights reserved by default.
