> I really wonder why would anyone self-host GitHub. Gitlab has a much more feature rich, mature and cheap offering. before i understood your comment i was going to reply "security, data security & control" -- as a reason orgs might choose to self-host vs outsource hosting SaaS github. But you're probably arguing for self-hosted gitlab over self-hosted github. Good question! i've worked somewhere with self-hosted github, but they were using it prior to github actions / workflows, so it was a combination of self-hosted github and N different CI and deployment automation tools ( bamboo! GoCD! udeploy! jenkins! google cloud build! poor bloody operator manually copying deployment payload onto jump box as the bureaucracy won't approve automation!)
