So, what's the actual real alternative ? The one that also supports open source projects ? Ironically gitlab is costlier than github, and not without their faults, but that's "maybe" the only other alternative here, anything else ?
The only concerns are if it were exposed to the public internet and scale. For personal stuff? It's spectacular.
If I did I would host it on a VPS and make it public.
They're free to email me a diff :-)
Jokes aside, the era of community built software is coming to an end. There is no place in the world now for a repository of open source projects.
