Literally the first paragraph: > Forgejo is self-hostable free software for software development, built on top of Git. Codeberg is powered by Forgejo, which is in turn a hard-fork of Gitea. Compared to Codeberg, Forgejo is not one service, but free software to help you build your own. Everyone can install their own Forgejo instance to host their own projects. There are also public Forgejo instances as well as Codeber…
Not sure if someone mentioned it already but I also used bitbucket in the past and found it very easy to use with a similar offering as github.
I really liked bitbucket, it's my favorite git management system I've used for real production work and it allows for self hosting. Self hosting is also way faster than gitlab from what I remember
GH beat them on UI/UX and the PR workflow I think. Really nothing more than having a better ~$120k Product Designer working there. Kinda funny what actually makes people stick with 1 choice over another. Very often it’s just having better UI/UX, or offering something useful for free.

You can use any CI/CD you want. The only reason GH is popular is that it's free for public repos. But Forgejo does have a GH like CI/CD. If you really care about good CI/CD then you should try some of the alternatives out and decide what works best for your needs.
What can you recommend?
It depends on what you are after? 1. Do you want something that works and feels like GitHub? -- Forgejo and Gitea are good for this. 2. Do you want a place to host git repositories with minimal hassle? -- GitLab, CodeBerg, and others are available. 3. Do you have your own hosting infrastructure? You could use gitolite and CGit/GitWeb on that hosting platform or local hardware. 4. Do you just want to host repositories…
> 4. Do you just want to host repositories? an ssh connection and git --bare init on your ssh accessible server works just fine

> The only reason GH is popular is that it's free for public repos. It's also free for private repos, and I have both. Codeberg doesn't like private repos, so unfortunately I cannot just move everything to Codeberg. I'll probably set up a Forgejo VPS somewhere.
If an org is heavily invested in GitHub Actions and GitHub App integrations, is self-hosting GitHub enterprise the only practical option?
no; gitea and foregjo both support actions-style CI/CD and both serve mostly GH-compatible APIs and have GH-style apps. it's not 100% compatible (forgejo is a little more compatible than gitea [^1]), but many of your workflows might "just work" without even renaming the .github folder. ^1: in my recent experience, for my particular use cases
To all of those proposing self-hosted GitLab: we did it for 6+ years in my company, and it's not always a smooth sailing. We had our own runners and we made it auto-upgrade across docker images daily before business start. It mostly worked really well, except those few times were a Docker upgrade had to be rolled back, or that one time the bundled pg_shared_buffers was set at 1MB by default, making schema upgrades im…
A single vm, 8 cpu cores and 64gb memory, using ssd disks on a local vmware cluster.
It worked okay but:
1. Was only exposed to the corporate network and some vpn connections
2. We did the upgrades late at night once every like six months, taking a snapshot of the whole thing from vmware side before touching anything
It worked pretty well and was relatively low maintenance. Frankly a very pleasant experience.
I’m using github and bitbucket at work nowadays and frankly i miss that experience, both as an user and as an administrator.
Edit: btw i left that job and that gitlab installation in 2022, no idea how things changed in the meantime.
Cursor just launched Origin, a Github alternative: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49334209

7. Do you want the most contributions? I hate to admit it, but GitHub has a massive community. I’ve personally seen a project leave it and then contributions dropped significantly.

ssh server git --bare init myrepo.git
git clone server:myrepo.git
