Github, Bitbucket or Gitlab?
And why?

True
42

@electrineer Didn't get it.
Noob here 🤔

@returnN his answer was:
A, B or C?
True (yes)

Why?
42 (the answer to everything)

@returnN selfhosted Gogs (or anything else).

42 is from the book Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Google for it, or better, read the book!

would choose github over bitbucket. had some annoying issues with bitbucket...

Gitea, because it is selfhosted, lightweight (not like gitlab) and open source.

GitHub, because
- bigger community/userbase
- more robust
- been quite a while using it, and never experienced problems, so makes no sense in switching

Saving to file system then zipping the whole thing. Might as well tar the zip just to be sure.

I tend to use Github, for no other reason than it tends to be what everyone else uses.

Fossil, because I'm a fucking hipster like that

Github because they now have free private repositories but only limited to 1GB per repo. There's also a free Github Desktop for Mac

Bitbucket for private repos. I like their sourcetree.

Gitlab
- can be self hosted
- unlimited privates repo
- unlimited collaborators for private repo (or maybe not but definitely more than 3,5 limitations by competitors)
- CI/CD (deployment)
- Operations (for environments etc)
- Registry (for docker)
- wiki
- integrations (with slack, etc)
- can easily push/pull from non-gitlab repo (yes can easily work together with any GitHub repos)
- above all are available to free user using their online version

GitHub
- limitations for free users
- strong community
- almost every devs have GitHub account
- Microsoft product (good thing for some, bad thing for some)
- not open source
- good issues system
- wiki only for pro accounts
- simple kanban style task management tool
- webhooks (for integrations and services)
- can't easily work with repos outside of GitHub

@cursee

BitBucket
- limitations for free users
- nicely integrated and work well with all other Atlasian products (which are not always free)
- somewhat annoying UI compared to the competitors
- not lots of open-source devs are using it

Summary
Lazy corporate with cash : BitBucket
Individual and small team : GitHub
More than 4 pax team with no budget : Gitlab

Answer to OP
Using gitlab
Why? Look at above summary.

@cursee guess I'll switch back to Gitlab again. Thanks to you

@returnN
I dont think @electrineer thought
of that but 42 is a ASCII code for ?
and ? is a wildcard that means everything. So everything is a anwser 🤔

Private git server

@Codex404 ohhh...

@deodexed you're smart AF man

@Gregozor2121 🤯

@HoloDreamer Does Sourcetree work well for you? It seemed good initially, but it's slow as anything on my machine and a massive memory hog with large repos.

@returnN yea that's what I've been told indeed.

@AlmondSauce i haven't had any issues. I only use it for my projects, they are not that huge.
