For the people who are leaving GitHub due to concerns over Copilot stealing their code, where are you going? GitLab? Self hosting your own?

  I always have a private Gitea instance running for my private projects. VPS are cheap in 2025 and it doesn't eat much resources.

    Also heard good things about Forgejo.

      That's what gitea is called nowadays. The name changes every few years

        They're different projects. https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

          On the same codebase

    I run Gitea too - Seeing what is happening over at GitHub solidifies my decision. Not too concerned over my public facing repos, Amazon and OpenAI seem to love 'em! I have the ultimate control over my private repos (nothing juicy). I can't say I trust Microsoft not to do something I don't like at any point in the future. Edit: I should say I wish phabricator got more love, that was a great tool!

      My private repos would contaminate the Copilot LLM for life. Haha. Have fun Microsoft getting that foul apple out of your system again.

    Documentation for it looks pretty straightforward; are you doing anything special for security besides a reverse proxy?

      If you can put everything behind a Wireguard or other VPN tunnel.

  I personally am self-hosting. Going anywhere else that is central again would just shift the shit-pile somewhere else. At least with self-hosting I know that my code is not used for AI training.

  Codeberg is nice but it's for open-source projects only. I think Codefloe.com is a nice alternative.

  Sourcehut is great. Way better DX and performance.
