We are changing our system. We settled on git (but are open for alternatives) as long as we can selfhost it on our own machines.

Specs

Must have

  • hosted on promise
  • reliabile
  • unlikely to be discontinued in the next >5 years
  • for a group of at least 20 people

Plus

  • gui / windows integration

    Gitlab’s main advantage is the tight integration with CI/CD and a web based IDE. But it has some annoying limitations in the non-enterprise version.

    Forgejo is great, but it comes with only community support.

    You can get commercial support from the Gitea project (from which Forgejo forked off), but if that is something important for you, Gitlab has probably also better commercial support structures in place.

      Money is not an issue. We’re happy to pay for everything. I’ll talk to the others in the next round to get to a conclusion.

        Yeah, for the integrated CI/CD, give GitLab a shot - it saves on spinning up a Jenkins or ConcourseCI server.

        CI/CD can be useful for triggering automation after merge requests are approved, building infrastructure from code, etc.

      Thanks for the sum up
