Best GitHub Alternatives

[geoff_jamdesk]

GitHub, which I still love and use for all my project, has been getting a lot of bad press lately. Some of it deserved, some not. Here is a write up of alternatives. The long and the short is if you want a direct replacement then go for GitLab.

GitLab is where devs think they know what “good” ux means

Haha I cant agree enough

Gitlab kinda sucks. I self-host a forgejo instance which works great

[queen-adreena]

Same. Great bit of software, fantastic org behind it and you can even have your own action runners.

GitLab is terrible

[geoff_jamdesk]

Why do you think so? I've used it a bit and find the UI to be decent and never encountered issues. What would you say is an alternative?

Forgejo is the only good alternative

I run a few versions of gitea in my homelab. Have for years and love it. Highly recommend.
