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 :)

    GitLab is open core, not open source. It is also a publicly-traded company in the US that does have shareholder obligations—which should cause some sort of long-term hesitation. It does have a better CI/CD system than the Microsoft product & the community edition can be self-hosted.
