A personal gitlab instance is always an option, it's 40$ a year though.

You can host it for free on gitlab.com

Oh sweet thanks! I didn't even notice they had a community edition

Happy to help! GitLab actually offers several options:

* Self-hosted CE (free) * Self-hosted EE (paid) * GitLab-hosted EE on GitLab.com (free) * GitLab-hosted CE or EE on GitHost.io (paid)

We use the self-hosted CE, and it's a breeze to set up and maintain

Thanks for commenting Matthew!

I'm sure folks will disagree, but I really enjoy Visual Studio Online. Free private repositories and tools (agile board, etc).

Unfortunately, GitHub is where people expect open source projects to be, so it's almost an inconvenience for contributors to be on anything other than GitHub

Gitlab is a great alternative, if you're willing to host it yourself.

If you don't want to host yourself you can also use GitLab.com (free SaaS) and GitHost.io (paid single-tenant instances).
