Another "Differences in Linux" question :)

I often wonder, what exactly is the difference between this services?

I understand, that:

  • github.com is a company, where as gitlab and forgejo are (softwares)?
  • They all "manage/wrap/interface with" git?

Questions:

  • what software does github.com use?
  • whats the difference between them (pros/cons)?
  • what about self-hosting? Possibilities/Preferences?

As always, thanks beforehand :)

Truly free… yet in its fork of Gitea it is copying more Microsoft GitHub features like Action YAML spaghetti instead of offering an improvement. Instead of being a better offering than Microsoft, they are cloning even more features where it is even more of a hard sell IMO by not offering anything new in the experience.

    The difference with a small group of devs writing code and offering it free and corporate thugs treating coders like sponges to produce code is the lack of resources can be understood and forgiven. Take a project like brave-nightly (browser fork of glugle-elechrom) there are 3-5-8 new releases a day, 8-6 Pacific US time, when they go home on Fri. the next release is Monday afternoon, the "free" coders usually begin work Friday night and end Monday at dawn!

    Sure, corp.XYZ sends them an offer one day and buys their work and even offers them incentives to work for them, then it all goes down hill!

    It ends up being as nasty racist and ethnocentric as kernel.org.com - us state dept fed and controlled
