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 :)

    Found upgrades mildly annoying with GitLab, big reason I moved to Forgejo for my personal stuff. Far easier to setup and maintain for me, seems to be happy with caddy and runners are really easy to setup.

    I’m not hosting for an entire org though, it’s just me and I keep all my selfhost stuff local only, so obviously YMMV.
