7 Best GitHub Alternatives

1

GitHub

Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub for a whopping 7.5 billion USD is not going well with many of GitHub’s users. While Microsoft is not that bad of a company and certainly not as big a disaster as Facebook, having your data owned by yet another tech giant is not something that every GitHub user was looking forward to. So, if you are one of those GitHub users or just someone who is shopping around to see what the market has to offer, here are the 7 best GitHub alternatives that you should check out in 2019.

BitBucket

Bitbucket is more than just Git code management. It gives teams one place to plan projects, collaborate on code, test, and deploy. I love that you can connect Bitbucket with project management software such as JIRA or Trello. This allows you to easily manage big projects and make sure that the work is done on time. It also connects with all your favorite tools like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Script Runner, and more. If you are looking for a great altenrative to GitHub which also happens to be free, you should definitely check out Bitbucket.

SourceForge

Sourceforge has been around longer than most, and it has the projects to prove it. Lots of open source Linux, Windows and Mac projects are hosted on SF. It has a totally different project structure when compared with GitHub. You can only create projects with a unique name. SF unlike others, also lets you host both static and dynamic pages, with the option of integrating a CMS too. Sourceforge lets you create a website for each of your projects, at proj.sourceforge.net.

GitLab

GitLab is one of the best GitHub alternatives on the market right now. The software is designed to support the entire DevOps cycle. That means from software development to deployment to monitoring and updates, everything can be handled with GitLab. One if its unique features is that you can install GitLab onto your own server. This gives you the option of using GitLab on a custom domain as well as with a custom host. GitLab also claims to handle large files and repositories better than GitHub. It also lets users have unlimited public AND private repos for free.

Ruler for Windows

Like Sourceforge, this means your Projects need unique titles which have not been used before by another project. CodePlex gives you the option of either Git, Mercurial or Team Foundation Server (TFS) as your Version Control. All CodePlex projects are private for a maximum duration of 30 days, after which they will be removed if not made public before the expiration date. You do not need to pay to use any CodePlex feature and neither does CodePlex set a cap on the number of users contributing to a project.
