Codeberg. Fully Libre

GitLab. The CI is fantastic.

Gitlab at work, because, well, it’s there and it works just fine.

Forgejo at home, because it’s far less resource hungry.

In the end Git is a) a command line tool for b) distributed working, so it really doesn’t matter much which central web service you put in place, you can always get your local copy via git clone REPO.

I’m not cool enough to use Sourcehut and deal with patches and emails - they’re already a pain in the ass when I submit patches to GNU, so I stick to Codeberg.

Codeberg. I host my web portfolio live there and even did a small contribution to kbin when it was alive. It’s great though now I’d want to look at forgejo.

Forgejo, a Gitea fork used by Codeberg. I chose it because it’s got the right balance of features to weight for my small use case, it has FOSS spirit, and it’s got a lovely package maintainer for FreeBSD that makes deployment and maintenance easy peasy (thanks Stefan <3).

I use Gitlab, but i’m becoming increasingly more unhappy with it over time.

When i have enough resources run another local machine, im planning to switch to switch to Codeberg, with selfhosted Woodpecker CI instead

Gitea self-hosted, because my repos are mine.

I use Github for 4 reasons:

• Everybody else is on Github. Github is to repo hosting what Youtube is to video hosting. It’s sad but that’s how it is in this world of unchecked, extreme big tech monopolization. So I put my stuff up there because it’s just simpler to be found.
• I use Github as a dumb git repo. I don’t use any of the extra social media garbage Microsoft tacked onto it. So I get free hosting and Microsoft pretty much gets no data on me - i.e. I’m a net loss to them.
• You can use dumb repos as PPA and RPM sources, if you need to distribute Debian or Redhat packages. Microsoft never intented for repos to be used this way, but if I can abuse Microsoft services, I will six ways to Sunday.
• Github lets you drop videos in your README.md. But here’s a trick: you can use the links to the video files anywhere. In other words, you can use Github to host videos that you can post on other forums - including here on Lemmy, or on Reddit if you’re still patronizing that cesspit for some reason. I find this a nice way to abuse Microsoft’s resources also, and I’m all for abusing Microsoft’s resources.

TL;DR: I use Github not only because it’s the most prevalent git hosting service out there, but because I can abuse it and make Microsoft pay for the abuse without getting anything of value from me in return.

• the cool kids use Sourcehut
• I use Codeberg

I self-host forgejo. I’m not a heavy or advanced user, and it suits my needs. I barely use github any more: mainly to star repos I like, and find and use repos (there’s a ton there - it’s almost ubiquitous).

Gitlab.com and Gitlab ce self hosted

Open source and I’m very very familiar with how ci/cd operates.

Gitlab

Open source

Free ultimate for open source organisations, we get a lot of free pipeline minutes without having to run our own servers for devops. Allows us to focus on development

I use github to star other repos because almost all repos are on github. A star supports the project.

I host my stuff on github because everyone else is on github and can star my repos.

I have access to codeberg

sourcehut. I like how it’s structured, where issue trackers, repos, and so on are independent of each other but can be grouped using a project, and you can have as many of each as you want or none at all. You should be able to have a huge monorepo with many issue trackers, or a single issue tracker for a project split across many repos if you want. GitHub doesn’t really allow you to do either, certainly not the former, and same with most of the alternatives. Everything else seems to clone GitHub’s workflow for contributions as well which I can’t stand (sourcehut uses git send-email as the primary contribution method — but there is also a GitHub style PR button —, which apart from the email jank I find much better because once it’s set up you can just send changes to any project with just a local clone; it also means you don’t even have to be registered on sourcehut to send changes to a project hosted there).

I also self-host cgit I suppose but that’s not really a GitHub alternative.
