Codeberg. Fully Libre

Forgejo, a Gitea fork used by Codeberg. I chose it because it's got the right balance of features to weight for my small use case, it has FOSS spirit, and it's got a lovely package maintainer for FreeBSD that makes deployment and maintenance easy peasy (thanks Stefan <3).

I used GitLab for personal projects, and I use GitHub for contributing to other project

GitLab is partially open source, GitLab can be self-hosted while GitHub does not

I'm asking this because I'm self learning and new. Is there a place I can host my code? I've been build a pretty robust app in visual code Windows Forms C#. I don't want to advertise or anything. I just want to have the code hosted as a backup

Codeberg. I host my web portfolio live there and even did a small contribution to kbin when it was alive. It's great though now I'd want to look at forgejo.

Codeberg for all my projects, both private and public. Some are mirrored to Github. Also Codeberg Pages and its Woodpecker CI.

I used to self host Gitea, just private repos for university assignments and other personal projects that I was going to open source one day (I have a real problem with finishing things). Then a big storm hit where I live and the internet was out for 2 weeks (I could still use my phone if I stood in the right spot), over that time I was able to work locally but for when I was out and about I couldn't collaborate on anything because I couldn't access it so I begrudgingly moved to GitHub.

At least with GitHub I get very reliable and fast hosting even if everything I write is being fed to AI. Their search is also amazing.

I do plan, however on getting Forjego set up for private stuff again, because some stuff cannot be made public. When the day comes that I finish something and open source it, I'll probably put it on Codeberg. Hopefully my project will be good enough that people are driven to join Codeberg to get involved.

As for my GitHub account, I won't be able to ditch that so I may continue to fix random bugs and typos I come across. I wouldn't want to impose my beliefs on someone else's project

GitLab because for CI/CD is it far, far much user friendly and comfortable to use with GitLab CI compared to GitHub Actions and flows.

In addition I can integrate templates for CI/CD pipelines already defined with the To Be Continuous project (which is open source).

Gitlab at work, because, well, it's there and it works just fine.

Forgejo at home, because it's far less resource hungry.

In the end Git is a) a command line tool for b) distributed working, so it really doesn't matter much which central web service you put in place, you can always get your local copy via git clone REPO.

I use Github for 4 reasons:

• Everybody else is on Github. Github is to repo hosting what Youtube is to video hosting. It's sad but that's how it is in this world of unchecked, extreme big tech monopolization. So I put my stuff up there because it's just simpler to be found.
• I use Github as a dumb git repo. I don't use any of the extra social media garbage Microsoft tacked onto it. So I get free hosting and Microsoft pretty much gets no data on me - i.e. I'm a net loss to them.
• You can use dumb repos as PPA and RPM sources, if you need to distribute Debian or Redhat packages. Microsoft never intented for repos to be used this way, but if I can abuse Microsoft services, I will six ways to Sunday.
• Github lets you drop videos in your README.md. But here's a trick: you can use the links to the video files anywhere. In other words, you can use Github to host videos that you can post on other forums - including here on Lemmy, or on Reddit if you're still patronizing that cesspit for some reason. I find this a nice way to abuse Microsoft's resources also, and I'm all for abusing Microsoft's resources.

TL;DR: I use Github not only because it's the most prevalent git hosting service out there, but because I can abuse it and make Microsoft pay for the abuse without getting anything of value from me in return.

I use sourcehut.

Gitea self-hosted, because my repos are mine.

As much as I hate GitHub, for in-person projects involving multiple people I usually end up having no choice since they usually think GitHub is the most important programming tool ever and nothing I do is going to convince them to create an account on something that's not GitHub.

For personal stuff I use Forgejo and disable everything except the code view, so I have a quick way to show people stuff I'm doing (for career reasons).

If I was doing a project with multiple people and actually got to chose the platform I would probably use Forgejo or Codeberg and make use of the project management features.

Pijul looks interesting but the ecosystem is very lacking and it doesn't integrate well with Guix which I base a lot of my workflows around, so until this improves switching to pijul creates more problems than it fixes. The only other VCS and frontend I'm familiar with is GitLab which I don't use anymore self-hosted since Forgejo is more performant and the main version randomly deleted all my repos and changed all sorts of stuff.

cgit also looks interesting, I might look into it.

GitLab, because it's FOSS.

I self-host forgejo. I'm not a heavy or advanced user, and it suits my needs. I barely use github any more: mainly to star repos I like, and find and use repos (there's a ton there - it's almost ubiquitous).

• the cool kids use Sourcehut
• I use Codeberg

GitLab. The CI is fantastic.

self-hosted gitlab.

I love it. I can clone external repos on a schedule and build my projects based on my local cache. I'm even running some automation tasks like image deployments out of it too.

Codeberg for public repositories, cgit (if that even counts) on my own server for private ones

gitea: lightweight, self hostable. preety neat. can also be customized https://git.nowhere.moe
