Another “Differences in Linux” question :)

I often wonder, what exactly is the difference between this services?

I understand, that:

  • github.com is a company, where as gitlab and forgejo are (softwares)?
  • They all “manage/wrap/interface with” git?

Questions:

  • what software does github.com use?
  • whats the difference between them (pros/cons)?
  • what about self-hosting? Possibilities/Preferences?

As always, thanks beforehand :)

    But it comes at the cost of obscurity, Codeberg is a big player but any instance you find is isolated, and any devs you entice to help you need to register additional accounts personal to that instance.

    It should be noted that Forgejo is working on implementing federation using ForgeFed, which is based on ActivityPub.
