If you've been keeping up with HN the past day or so there have been a bunch of great discussion around alternatives

I have a running GitBucket instance and I must say I can't recommend it, especially not for production. It's good if you just need a private repository somewhere to host your code, but the web interface is not the best and misses features (I'm not even able to create pull requests!). The best thing I can say about it is that it's light on resources, easy to set up and reasonably maintained - which is more than can be said for many other "GitHub alternatives".

>I'm not even able to create pull requests!

I am very curious to see the details of this. I use bitbucket in a regular basis and it does provide PR functionality

Update: In case someone hasn't found it before: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/create-a-pull-req...

Bitbucket != Gitbucket

HN regular Sir_Cmpwn posted about his alternative yesterday:

I haven't seen it here, but don't forget Gogs! Written in Go, super lightweight and pretty full-featured. https://gogs.io/

Maybe because there is Gitea, a fork of Gogs which is AFAIK more active now.

Ironically, Gogs is hosted on GitHub :)

This is a good list. Thank you :)
