GitHub is the most mainstream, Gitlab has the most features and is selfhostable, Gitea has fewer features, but is more lightweight for selfhosting. Both Gitlab and Gitea are also working on federation.
I don’t know about the others.

Forgejo is a community run fork of Gitea. It’s also what powers Codeberg.
I gotta be honest I didn’t know Codeberg doesn’t use their own thing.

Honestly, don’t like any of them. Github is closed-source and lacks so many features compared to Gitlab. Gitlab, though opensource, makes you pay for every useful feature and is not fun to host. Gitea is an opensource clone of Github that also lacks Gitlab’s features. SourceHut is unusable for me (mailing lists and
git send-mail? seriously?). Never used BitBucket and radicle (decentralised sourceforge) is still under heavy development with no CI.Optimal would be something with gitlab’s features, decentralised, FLOSS, and unlocked when self-hosted. Maybe radicle will get there. They seem to be dog-fooding their solution and about a year ago were planning on CI. No idea where their roadmap disappeared to.
Github is the industry standard. It’s easy to use and is packed with features, it’s also quite flexible in how much it provides for free.
Codeberg is a github clone but open source and nonprofit. People are weary that github is owned by Microsoft so if you’re a privacy conscious person that likes open source, it’s a good option.
I’ve never used Gitlab but from what I’ve heard it’s more enterprise oriented, focused on providing solutions for companies rather than something simple for everyone. You can also self-host it if you want it on your own servers.
I generally recommend GitTea if you need a nice simple Git server. Or … Just use GitHub and be done with it. Maybe GitLab if you cannot put company stuff on GitHub for some high security reasons.
I personally use codeberg but I have to use github to send PR to some project.
codeberg: KISS
As a regular user who doesn’t do any dev work but likes to keep tabs on various projects, Gitlab all the way. It has an interface to track issues specific to a given version, giving you an easy way to gauge progress on upcoming releases and see what the holdups are. I’ve not found any kind of analog for that on GitHub unfortunately, but maybe I just haven’t looked in the right place
Gitea - basically gitlab which is really easy to deploy
Forgejo is a community run fork of Gitea, created after the restructuring of the Gitea business.
gitweb is my personal favorite. Take control of your repo.
my vote goes to sr.ht
‘failed to load image’ lol
sorry there’s something weird going on with trying to recognise the link. it’s sourcehut but you can just type sr (dot) ht
What’s wrong with what? Links to sr.ht work fine.
It was being interpreted as a link to an image according to another user. I edited it by the time you saw it.
After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role… Holy shit does GitHub suck. It’s organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don’t know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.
Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github
