5 Free Self Hosted GitHub Alternatives

[labbe5]

GitHub is free for individuals for storing their programming work online. And if you want to do the same but on your own server then you can try the following alternatives which you can host on your own. All the GitHub alternatives that I have added in the following list are open source and can be easily installed locally or on a VPS if you own one.

GitLab, Gogs, Gitea, GitBucket, Kallithea
These are the best free self hosted GitHub alternatives that you can use. You can easily run them locally or on a production server in a few seconds. In some of them, it may take a long time for setup but it’s worth it. All the Git services that I have mentioned above can easily replace GitHub for personal and professional use. According to me, I will recommend you to use GitLab and Kallithea if you can handle the installation process which is a bit typical. If you want simple Git services that you can install and run on your server then you use Gogs and Gitea. And if you want a GitHub alternative which is simple and customizable then I will suggest you to go with GitBucket due to its plugin based architecture.
