Thanks for the warning, are there any good tools that integrate with pull request checks that can be self hosted?

We self host nearly everything at work except for github. (And it's VERY difficult for me to get anything that costs money approved regardless of price)

This has been true of all media since the dawn of media. Youtube has nothing to do with it
