I started self hosting my own git on a digital ocean droplet with Gitea (1). It’s been unbelievably fantastic and trivially easy to manage experience and I can make them public and invite contrib ans do integrations … I see zero downsides

I see no reason to ever go back to holding my code elsewhere.

Don’t forget git is fairly new

When I first started doing production code it was pre-github so we used some other kind of repo management system

This is a perfect example of where the they’re starting to cannibalize their base and now we have the ability to get away from them entirely.
