Self hosting gitea : https://about.gitea.com/ is going to give you the github UX. You can also go for the forked forgejo : https://forgejo.org/.
Gitea is getting into corporation/IP territory while forgejo is 100% community driven.
Self-hosting might feels intimidating for some but once you have your server the speed and “snappiness” feels insane.
Why do we need github alternatives? Isn’t githuv already good?
It bans projects, developers, trains AI on this code.
Microsoft owned, enough said
This is a weird take in this context. It’s a platform for hosting open source software. There is no privacy to speak of, the whole point is that it’s out in the open
Now using it for enterprise or a private repo is a different discussion, but it’s not clear that that’s what’s we’re focused on here
I like having as many private repos as I’d like, its’s a small plus that microsoft can’t scrape my code for their silly AI products
how about gitlab as a self-hosted alternative?
