Gitlab is like the SAP of git, something for bloated big corporations. I've never seen a single FOSS repo there.
Yeah, who's ever heard of this weird company named nvidia https://gitlab.com/nvidia >, or inkscape https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape >, or F-Droid https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient >

I prefer Forgejo, but both it and Gitea support actions like GitHub's. You can have a nice CI/CD pipeline that runs 100% in-house, for free. I adore it for personal projects.

Sure, it's not identical, and no one claims it is. I think it's defensibly like them, though.
This surely isn't going in any good direction. What's next ads in commits?
Yeah, GitHub is cooked. Now's a good time to consider migrating to alternative forges like Tangled ( https://tangled.sh ; bit of a shameless plug, I'll admit. I'm the co-founder). We've got a more advanced PR flow, jujutsu change-id support and we just launched our in-house CI! https://blog.tangled.sh/ci Long-term, we aim to be the new social coding platform, collectively built in the open.
Damn, why all the downvotes?
Not too surprising considering how big a lead Github had in the generative coding space and how it managed to give it all up to a half dozen different companies over the last few years. An executive shakeup was long overdue.
The features that will be prioritized will be AI not Git improvement
GitHub will now fall under Microsoft's CoreAI team, which give some indication of GitHub's purpose and direction going forward.
You mean all of Microsoft's direction? Look at how VSCode changelogs have morphed from editing features to 90% AI.
GitLab is like, really good. No need to put your codebase in the "cloud."
I also don't think "it's open source!" is a huge differentiator because it's enormous, difficult to deploy from source and written in Ruby so the chance of being able to actually modify it for some feature you want is near zero.
I think Forgejo is probably a way better option at this point even if it is less mature. It's written in Go so way easier to deploy and edit. And none of the features are paid.
I do like Gitlab but... it's not amazing. I liked Phabricator more (except for its lack of integrated CI).

Heres the thing: it was a dev company with a side-AI business, but now Microsoft has signaled it wants an AI-GitHub with a dev-side business. The features that will be prioritized will be AI not Git improvement
I don't mean to sounds like an MS apologist, btw. I fully predicted and hoped for an exodus from Github to GitLab or something back when it got acquired — I'm from the Microsux generation.

“Really good” under which metric? Because it is slow, even more confusing after the terrible sidebar redesign and, to quote a famous author, its usage does not spark any joy. Codeberg and gitea, on the other hand, feel great, like early Github. Fast and simple, instead of a product that’s adding feature on top of half-baked feature to capture the sweet corporate $$$.
Looks like the goal is to turn Github into an "agent factory". And they still can't even support IPv6.
