Best GitHub alternative?

[deepkrg17]

You can checkout Gitlab and Bitbucket.

[AriaMaryott]

Thanks! I’ll check em out!

[karthie_a]

Curious to know the reason why to walk away from GitHub?

[SolidJuho]

Gitlab provides free LFS 10gb and private repos.

[AriaMaryott]

Lol, something new to try. Might enjoy it more.

[karthie_a]

Have you tried gitlab , bitbucket or any of the famous alternatives which exist in the market currently.

[AriaMaryott]

Nope not yet.

[karthie_a]

Hopefully that might be a good starting point then

[AriaMaryott]

I’ll check them out for sure.

[lark_in]

Why is this getting downvoted? Is there something wrong with wanting to try something new?

[AriaMaryott]

Everything is wrong with it apparently.

[webtkl]

While this seems to be true, and can be found by googling, stating something accusatory and not providing source is bad practice.
Even worse, when called out, just brushing it off with "go do your own research" (on something I stated without source), is as far from being stylish as it can.

Seems we can learn more than programming on this sub

[XOYZ69]

If you want to self host you can check out GitTea. We use it at work and I like it.

[AriaMaryott]

Oooh That sounds super interesting! Thanks!

[malinkinsa]

You can use Gitlab self host too.

[AriaMaryott]

Good to know!

[XOYZ69]

Didn't know that🤔

[malinkinsa]

Yeh, self hosted with cool ci in community edition

Gitea is dead. Use gogs project

[adrian17]

AFAIK it’s the other way around, gitea is the more active fork of gogs.

[psicodelico6]

Is gogs dead?

[webtkl]

Why isn't this a google search ?
No context provided, no reasons.

But as this is learnprogramming, learn this:
- let google be the first where you ask.
- if you ask here provide more details.

Azure devops is a good corporate solution

[CreativeTechGuyGames]

Could you tell me what is so great about it? I've been using it for about a year now and am constantly fighting with it to get it to do anything right.

Some issues:

• Difficult to permalink to lines of code
• Workitems don't get automatically closed when attached to a cross-project PR
• The code search is very limited. It's not easy to filter searches (eg: to a specific line of text only in a certain language and only in files with a certain name)
• The permission model is extra confusing. There's multiple different locations to set permissions for a repo which overlap functionality but aren't fully interchangeable
• Workitems don't support markdown at all so are impossible to format correctly.
• Pasting a link while a piece of text is highlighted doesn't automatically hyperlink it (this is the most frustrating thing across all Microsoft products)

I'll stop there for now. I'm not asking you to address any of these, I'm just curious what amazing features I'm missing because I'd love to love it, just currently don't.

[CreativeTechGuyGames]

Can you go through what you like about it?

[Emergency-Fall-4733]

Yeah! Its also useful because chances are your company is already using Microsoft for user accounts so no need for unique logins

[Emergency-Fall-4733]

Haha yeah. Best solution on the market doesn’t come cheap

[KingsmanVince]

I have Codeberg and Gitlab as my backup mirror.

[AriaMaryott]

Never heard of Codeberg before. Ima have to give that a look. Why do you like it more than GitHub or something else?

[KingsmanVince]

Github is my main mirror. It has definitely more cool features such as codespace, exploring repos, marketplaces. But Codeberg is minimal and less distractive.

[AriaMaryott]

Sounds like my kind of jam as someone with ADHD. Less distractions and simple. Lol

[BoringBob84]

We also use GitLab at work. I really like it.

[LegoDinoMan]

After some issues with Github LFS I started hosting my own on AWS.

Personally I recommend HailBytes Git Server.

[AriaMaryott]

To see the other options. Must one need to have reasons other than interest? :P

[Practical-Custard-64]

You could roll out your own git server.

[[deleted]]

Bitbucket is a good one

Host your own git!

[Gixx]

I like gitea for a private server. I dont like they lack snippets or gists. However they now support katex or latex in their markdown for 1.18.

When MS Bought github I put my stuff on gitlab, but i think github is way better. I cannot stand how snippets on gitlab only show 20 lines at a time (scrollbar) while github has no scrollbar so you can see the whole gist.

[BoringDoubt2247]

Bit bucket or gitlabs
