As a student if you have a .edu email you can get unlimited repos on BitBucket as well. I use BitBucket for projects I don't want to publish, and if it ever becomes something I wouldn't mind sharing I go public on GitHub and BitBucket.

Paid GitHub. It's great, not really expensive, almost every developer knows how it works. Simply setting up your own Git repo would be more expensive than a few months of GitHub/BitBucket subscription.

I'm not arguing about GitHub being great, but it really only takes a few minutes to spin up an EC2 instance and add a few user accounts with a shared folder. That's really all that's required to set up a shared repo.

Plus backups., security updates etc. OK you can not backup got as someone probably has a copy but...

A benefit of private GitHub repos is that you're still nicely integrated with your open source dependencies on GitHub. For example, if you file an issue in your private repo that mentions an issue in some other public repo, you'll see your own reference when viewing the public issue.

Self-hosted Gitlab. We have more than 20 projects in it but only a few of them can be called large.

We also use self-hosted Gitlab. Its workflow is generally very sensible, the web interface is great, and it was easy to integrate with a homemade CI server (unfortunately their provided CI server wasn't nearly as easy to set up as Gitlab itself).

Self-hosting with gogs.io. Awesome interface, easy to install (it's just a binary), uses minimal system resources and loads very very quick.

My private repos go on a NAS share over SSH. git supports this perfectly.
