There is also Gitea: https://gitea.io

Thanks! gogs looked great until I was horrified it has no oauth plugin support?! gitea does. why the fork? seems awkward.

The fork happened years ago because Gogs was (not entirely sure of current status) managed by a single person who would disappear on the regular, leaving fixes and other things not merged for weeks. So it got forked by people who were contributing to Gogs, and I think that ended up pushing Gogs into more active development. Now the two projects are still very similar but diverged enough to have some important differences like the OAuth support in gitea and such.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Fixing an imago set by a guy calling open-source and Linux 'a cancer' is really hard. The last few years of changes doesn't magically wipe away that bitter taste, and the last 10-20 years doesn't magically make you forget the past.

At least some of that rhetoric was directed at the GPL specifically. And in that sense, many people in the open source world feel similarly and avoid copyleft.

A positive aspect of the article is that includes the full cite and not the shortened version.

For all the complaints about Microsoft, I've yet to hear what they could do that would be so bad? Change the homepage to actually be useful? Improve the search? Give away free private repos?

Thumbs up to Phabricator, a software imo very underrated. Absolutely recommend if you are not very fond of Gitlab (furthermore, Phabricator's performance has been really good in my experience)

I am definately going to look at this. Now if there were a self host cloud storage (nextcloud) that also did soure repository...

Do you honestly know anyone in the "open source world" who avoids GNU and Linux?

Gitlab it is then! Not sure what to do with all my Github tshirts now :)

Give them away to homeless people, you'd love the irony, or simply send them to me (L/XL).

I like the content but the website's scroll is somehow delayed and I'm unable to pinch zoom on my mobile device.

These are no alternatives. GitHub is a specialized social network with git hosting included.

I'll leave GitHub when I have some issues that I can't resolve. By then everyone will have blazed the trail for me, maybe a coupe times. ;)

Much like the United States.... all my stuff is there...

I am a happy gitlab.com user. However, with all of this week's news I decided to see what it would take to run my own GitLab instance. I was surprised to find that on Digital Ocean and AWS Lightsail the one-click GitLab installs required an instance that costs ~$40 per month just for me, one user. Any cheaper/smaller instances were to anemic to run GitLab at all. Seems like there are some performance issues to deal with there.
