Ask HN: GitHub alternatives? (except for Gitlab and Bitbucket)

7 points by spiderjako22 ↗ HN
I was thinking about Gitea and GitKraken. Any other alternatives you've used that you can recommend?

If you want to follow the workflow used with Github, Gitlab, and others, it is hard to beat Gitea. Heck, I like it so much that I even posted bounties for a few features.

If you set it up correctly, maintenance is low, and resource usage on the server is slim. Quite the apposite of Gitlab, for example.

However, after using SourceHut[1] for the last couple of months, I am convinced that their workflow is superior, and highly recommend using it. Using git send-mail is a joy compared to pull requests, and not having to enable JS for everything, even more so.

I am currently using their hosted version, but looking to self-host it for my company.
