Run git on a personal server[1]? It's not as complicated as you might think. Probably much more usable to setup gitlab. Then set up the alternative remote on y

  I posted this on another thread. If you only want the commits, something like this works, ssh user@git.example.com mkdir project-1.git cd project-1.git git init —-bare exit git remote add alternate user@git.example.com:project-1.git All you need is SSH

    I use it also that way. Gitlab does the same if you use ssh. They provide hooks on init so that gitlab knows if something happens.

    All you need to get all commits and all tags/branches: git clone --mirror https://github.com/you/repo Push those to another server: git remote add new https://gitlab.com/you/repo git push --mirror new

  That's fine for your code repository. However git has more: - Bug tickets - PR - Wiki - many projects use their githubpages as primary homepage - newly GitHub actions And then: Often collaborators are only known and identified by their GitHub handle. Running an own server requires some mechanism to identify them again and creating a way to handle their access credentials (ssh key etc.) Moving a mildly successful project isn't easy. Good if more people plan for that eventuality, even if they stay on GH for the time being.
