I personally use codeberg but I have to use github to send PR to some project.
Github is the industry standard. It’s easy to use and is packed with features, it’s also quite flexible in how much it provides for free.
Codeberg is a github clone but open source and nonprofit. People are weary that github is owned by Microsoft so if you’re a privacy conscious person that likes open source, it’s a good option.
I’ve never used Gitlab but from what I’ve heard it’s more enterprise oriented, focused on providing solutions for companies rather than something simple for everyone. You can also self-host it if you want it on your own servers.
I generally recommend GitTea if you need a nice simple Git server. Or … Just use GitHub and be done with it. Maybe GitLab if you cannot put company stuff on GitHub for some high security reasons.
What? No love for BitBucket? /s
Gitea - basically gitlab which is really easy to deploy
Forgejo is a community run fork of Gitea, created after the restructuring of the Gitea business.
github, it seems to be the only with with a code search worth anything.
but it also has really nice discoverability for applications. I have found so many cool applications on GitHub using their topics system and language filtering.
I haven’t been able to find any replication at all with any of the other stuff. so even if you do use another repo, please mirror on GitHub. Even if only so people can find it and search the code.
After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It’s organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don’t know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.
Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github
