- pabs3 3y agogit-remote-ipfs or GitTorrent.
- mattrighetti 3y agoI would guess that GitLab is the most used one right after GitHub, but I may be incorrect.
- FrostKiwi 3y agoSelf-hosted Gitea.
- kjuulh 3y agoI use a self hosted gitea instance. Haven't had any issues with it, i can highly recommend it. Not super useful if you want contributions though xD
- 727564797069706 3y agosourcehut - the hacker's forge
- toastal 3y agoThere’s also the swath of non-Git DVCS options like Fossil, Mercurial, darcs, Pijul, et. al. and they have their own forge hosting options.
- Lutger 3y agoI still like Gitlab a lot and use it wherever I can. I think that it was once talked about very favorably on HN, but it seems to have lost its popularity after its IPO (or even earlier).
- cryo 3y agoSourcehut. I like how they approach things there, and am happy to pay for my account to support them.

- tmtvl 3y agoCodeberg seems like a decent host for Free Software projects. There is also Sourceforge, but I don't know if people have already forgiven and forgotten the mistakes made in the past.
- gdrift 3y agoSelf hosted GitBlit. https://www.gitblit.com/ https://www.gitblit.com/
- tonyedgecombe 3y agoClosed source. I can't see the point of publishing anything innovative if it is just going to be vacuumed up by some giant corporation and sold back out to users at $10 a month.
