I haven't seen it here, but don't forget Gogs! Written in Go, super lightweight and pretty full-featured. https://gogs.io/

Ironically, Gogs is hosted on GitHub :)

If you want to host your own, you can use cgit https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/about/ and gitolite https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite

I don't found reason to think that github is different after the deal with Microsoft. So for now I 'll keep trust in github... Otherwise I will use pre concept

I personally prefer BitBucket, the best part about them is that they offer, unlimited private repos.

Likewise, Git isn't the only distributed source control solution... and probably not even the best, as detailed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17242015

I still mourn the passing of Bazaar (Canonical's CVS, developed in tandem with Git but abandoned some years back). It was a lot easier to learn and use than Git and had a beautifully clean Python codebase. Unfortunately, it was also slower than Git and not as powerful, and eventually just lost out in the survival of the fittest... Though having said that, it's still alive in the Ubuntu universe, and there's a communi…

Don't forget "darcs". That had a lot of promise, but suffered from at least one exponential timing issue - where it would get into a state which took "forever" to resolve.

Absolutely, plus I find their UI to be way more usable

IMHO it is not a good time to move out of Github right now. I think Microsoft will offer a bundled developer ecosystem like Atlassian (bitbucket/trello/jira/confluence/pipelines), Amazon (Cloud9/Codecommit/codestar/chime). I bet a bundle with something like skype / github / visual studio / linkedIn Learning... will come soon.

Agreed. Jumping ship is a knee jerk reaction to news that hasn't impacted the platform at all yet. I'm not against trying out other services and encouraging competition in this space, but people are over-reacting just a bit to the news.

People are jumping ship not only because of what MSFT may do, but because of what MSFT has done in the past. Its an issue of reputation.

GitLab has taken a good amount of funding. Which means they will sell out eventually and the ones concerned about big brother taking over will be right back in this discussion again. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/gitlab-com Some type of crowd funded federation needs to be created and owned by all of us if we truly want out from under this type of concern.

It's funny but gitlab, start working with amazon and is hosted on google? And nobody says anything about it.

Microsoft is the devil :O :)
