Why do we need github alternatives? Isn't githuv already good?
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
GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Microsoft collects a lot of data.
It bans projects, developers, trains AI on this code.
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.
Gitea is a fork of Gogs with a lot of missing features.
