What is the quality-first, high uptime alternative to GitHub? My employer uses both GitHub and GitLab, and while I think GitLab is better, its quality also frankly sucks. It's riddled with bugs that have just been marinating on the issue tracker for years, and the most common "fix" for gnarly bugs in the CI platform is "revise the documentation to reflect the existing (broken) behavior".

*Stupid question*: What is so hard about self hosting one's own repo? I get it must be difficult for a mega corporation, but for companies like us, who have hundreds of repos but only 20 of them are regularly used, and concurrent read/write is relatively light -- considering our largest team is less than 20 persons, so even if all of them are reading/writing from the repo, it doesn't seem to be a huge issue. Even for…

GitHub on-prem. Officially called GitHub Enterprise Server. You can have GitHub, but hosted on your own servers.

So you still pay them, you do the hosting work, and you get a product with worse features than gitlab?

Yeah, at that point why would anyone choose GitHub?

That's like 100,000 USD. I keep thinking about making a rap video wearing a 10 TB gold chain surrounded by big booty girls with their naughty bits covered in m.2 SSD's while dissing the AI industry. Though I cant afford the RAM :-/

like most rap videos do with cars/jets/mansions, just rent the ram sticks for a few hours!

And the cinema equipment to make the video itself.

And it costs you more money than GitLab.

Have you ever actually hosted gitlab?

Not only have I hosted it, I've helped migrate two gitlab instances to github enterprise, because we didn't want to maintain it anymore

Don't you still have to maintain github enterprise?

> What is so hard about self hosting one's own repo? Maybe nothing! I was genuinely asking. I still don't know what Actually Good™ forges are out there these days, generally suitable for corporate use in place of the likes of GitHub or GitLab. Forgejo? Something not based on Git?

I guess self-hosting GitHub is the easiest second step for companies that use GitHub? It does have a lot of niceties built around git, which is very crude.

It's the cloud managed one, they have an "enterprisey" license that gives you more features/limits but you don't have to run infra, upgrades, patches etc
